| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using inappropriate abrasive grits for the desired finish. | Consult material compatibility charts and experiment with progressive grit sizes to achieve the target surface roughness. |
| Applying excessive heat during the finishing process, leading to material distortion. | Employ cooling techniques such as misting or intermittent operation to manage temperature and prevent thermal expansion. |
