Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized cutting tools for the 0.879" thickness, leading to poor cut quality and increased tool wear.Employ heavy-duty industrial cutting machinery specifically rated for the material thickness, ensuring proper blade selection and feed rates.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in weak or porous welds.Thoroughly clean the weld area of any mill scale, rust, oil, or contaminants using wire brushing or grinding prior to welding.

Common Applications
