Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools without proper lubrication.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools with ample coolant to prevent overheating and ensure clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to deformation.Utilize torque wrenches and distribute clamping force evenly to avoid warping the brass sheet.
