Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull or incorrect cutting blades, leading to rough edges and inefficient cuts.Employ sharp, high-quality blades specifically designed for cutting carbon steel of this thickness. Maintain appropriate blade speed and feed rate for optimal results.
Insufficient clamping of the stock sheet, resulting in vibration and inaccurate cuts.Securely clamp the carbon steel sheet to a stable surface using robust clamps or a jig to prevent movement during the cutting process.

Common Applications
