Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard wood-cutting saw blade, which can lead to melting and chipping.Employ a saw blade with a fine tooth pitch (e.g., 6-8 teeth per inch) and a negative hook angle.
Applying excessive pressure during cutting, causing stress cracks.Allow the saw to do the work; maintain a consistent, moderate feed rate and avoid forcing the material.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Industrial Fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling and cutting polycarbonate.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
