Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to edge deformation or inaccuracies.Employ specialized industrial cutting equipment such as plasma cutters or abrasive saws designed for thick steel to maintain precise dimensions and edge quality.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding causing poor weld integrity.Thoroughly clean all welding surfaces, removing rust, mill scale, and any oils or greases with wire brushes or grinding wheels to ensure a clean base metal.

Common Applications
