Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to rough edges and potential material fatigue.Employ heavy-duty shears, plasma cutters, or abrasive saws specifically designed for metal fabrication to ensure precise cuts and maintain material integrity.
Inadequate surface preparation before installation, compromising adhesion or grounding.Ensure surfaces are free from rust, paint, or grease. Employ degreasers and wire brushes for optimal contact and conductivity.
