Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that generate excessive heat and can warp the sheet.Employ plasma cutters or abrasive saws specifically designed for thick gauge stainless steel, maintaining a steady coolant flow.
Inadequate surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or premature corrosion at connection points.Thoroughly degrease and clean all surfaces to be joined or fastened, using appropriate industrial solvents and a clean, lint-free cloth.
