Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard saw blades designed for wood or metal, leading to chipping or melting.Employ carbide-tipped blades with a moderate tooth count, specifically designed for plastics, and use appropriate cooling lubricants.
Applying excessive force or heat during cutting, causing material deformation or cracking.Maintain consistent, moderate pressure and control cutting speed to prevent localized heat buildup and ensure a clean cut.

Common Applications
