Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard wood saw blade, which can cause chipping and melting.Employ a saw blade specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to ensure clean, precise edges.
Applying excessive force during drilling, leading to stress cracks.Use a sharp drill bit designed for plastics and apply moderate, consistent pressure. Consider pre-drilling pilot holes.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guarding
