Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to excessive heat or poor edge quality.Utilize cutting tools specifically designed for metal, ensuring proper blade selection and coolant if necessary to manage heat and achieve clean cuts.
Failing to deburr edges, creating sharp hazards and potentially compromising subsequent fabrication steps.Always deburr all cut edges immediately after cutting using a file, deburring tool, or abrasive pad to ensure safety and a smooth finish.

Common Applications

  • Prototyping and model making
  • Electrical connectors and contacts
