Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or inappropriate cutting tools, leading to poor edge quality and potential material damage.Employ industrial-grade cutting equipment (e.g., plasma cutter, abrasive saw) suitable for 0.983" carbon steel, ensuring sharp blades/discs and correct settings.
Insufficient edge preparation prior to welding, resulting in weak or compromised weld joints.Thoroughly clean and bevel edges to be welded, removing all mill scale, rust, and contaminants to ensure optimal weld penetration and strength.
