Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for thick carbon steel.Employ industrial-grade cutting equipment such as plasma cutters, abrasive saws, or specialized shears designed for heavy gauge metals.
Insufficient edge preparation before welding.Bevel edges appropriately to ensure full weld penetration and structural integrity, especially given the material's thickness.
