Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper cooling, leading to melting.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits or use conventional bits with adequate lubrication and slow, steady pressure.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation.Use washers and avoid overtightening. Allow for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes by drilling oversized holes.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Protective shields
  • Glazing and windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
  • Consider thermal expansion during installation; drill holes larger than the fastener diameter.
