Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a blade with too few teeth or a coarse pitch.Employ a fine-tooth blade (e.g., 60-80 teeth per inch) with a negative hook angle to prevent chipping and melting.
Excessive clamping pressure leading to distortion.Apply firm but not excessive clamping pressure, using soft jaws or protective pads to avoid marring the sheet surface.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety shields
  • Glazing for architectural and industrial structures
  • Point-of-purchase displays and signage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and cutting polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can degrade the polycarbonate material.
