Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for thick gauge steel.Employ industrial-grade cutting equipment specifically designed for heavy steel plate to ensure clean cuts and prolong tool life.
Inadequate preparation for welding, such as insufficient cleaning of the surface.Thoroughly degrease and remove any mill scale or rust from the welding area to ensure optimal weld penetration and strength.
