Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull or incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and inaccurate dimensions.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for brass, such as abrasive saws or band saws with appropriate blades.
Inadequate support during cutting or bending, causing deformation and stress fractures.Provide robust support to the sheet throughout the fabrication process to maintain its structural integrity and prevent unintended bending or warping.

Common Applications
