Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that generate excessive heat, leading to material distortion or hardening.Employ cutting methods designed for thick steel, such as plasma cutting with appropriate amperage settings or abrasive cutting with coolant to manage heat.
Failing to properly deburr edges, creating safety hazards and potential issues during welding or assembly.Utilize a grinder with a flap disc or a specialized deburring tool to create smooth, safe edges after cutting.

Common Applications

  • Structural components and framing
