Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools not designed for carbon steel, leading to premature tool wear and poor cut quality.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically rated for carbon steel to achieve clean cuts and prolong tool life.
Neglecting to account for material expansion/contraction during thermal cutting processes, resulting in inaccurate dimensions.Allow for thermal expansion and contraction by making allowances in cut paths, especially when using plasma or laser cutting, or by performing post-cut verification.
