Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for the sheet's gauge and application.Consult engineering drawings or a structural engineer to determine the correct fastener size, type, and spacing for optimal load distribution and structural integrity.
Failure to properly de-burr cut edges, creating safety hazards and potential stress concentration points.Thoroughly de-burr all cut edges with a file or grinder to ensure a smooth, safe finish and prevent premature material fatigue.
