Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to material deformation or damage.Employ carbide-tipped blades or plasma cutters designed for thick steel to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in weak joints.Thoroughly clean the weld area to remove any mill scale, oil, or rust using a wire brush or grinder before welding.

Common Applications
