Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools not rated for 0.449" thickness, leading to inefficient cuts or tool damage.Employ heavy-duty, industrial-grade cutting equipment specifically designed for thick gauge carbon steel.
Neglecting to deburr edges after cutting, which can create safety hazards and interfere with subsequent assembly.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file, grinder, or deburring tool to ensure smooth, safe finishes.
