Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cutting techniques leading to burrs or inaccuracies.Utilize sharp, specialized metal cutting blades and employ slow, controlled movements to achieve clean, precise edges.
Failure to account for material expansion/contraction during machining.Allow for thermal expansion/contraction in design and cutting by using precise measuring instruments and appropriate tolerances.

Common Applications
