Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate cutting tools for the material thickness.Utilize heavy-duty cutting machinery (e.g., plasma cutter, abrasive saw) designed for thick carbon steel to ensure clean and efficient cuts.
Insufficient support during machining operations.Provide robust support and bracing for the sheet during drilling, milling, or bending to prevent movement and ensure dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications
