Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a thinner, less rigid material for critical layout tasks.Always select stock sheet material with adequate thickness and rigidity to prevent warping or deflection that can compromise measurement accuracy.
Failing to properly deburr sharp edges after cutting or modification.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to prevent injury and to ensure a smooth surface for subsequent operations or contact.

Common Applications

  • Precision Layout and Marking
  • Die and Fixture Base Plates
  • Custom Gauging Surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May rust if exposed to moisture; apply appropriate protective coatings.
  • Handle with care due to sharp edges; wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
