Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized cutting tools for the 0.871" thickness, leading to poor cut quality and potential tool damage.Utilize industrial-grade cutting equipment specifically rated for the material thickness to ensure clean, precise cuts and prolong tool life.
Neglecting edge preparation after cutting, resulting in sharp burrs that pose a safety hazard and interfere with subsequent assembly.Always deburr and smooth cut edges thoroughly using files, grinders, or specialized deburring tools to ensure safe handling and proper fitment.
