Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull cutting blades, leading to uneven cuts and increased heat generation.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting blades specifically designed for carbon steel, and ensure they are replaced proactively.
Inadequate clamping of the stock sheet, resulting in vibration and inaccurate cuts.Utilize robust clamps and appropriate fixturing to firmly secure the sheet, preventing movement during the cutting process.

Common Applications

  • Precision fabrication of machine parts
  • Structural component manufacturing
