Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can cause excessive heat and deformation.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized non-ferrous metal cutting tools to maintain material integrity and achieve clean cuts.
Insufficient deburring of cut edges, leading to potential short circuits or physical injury.Thoroughly deburr all edges with a file or deburring tool to create smooth, safe surfaces.

Common Applications
