Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper support, leading to chipping.Employ carbide-tipped drill bits and support the material from underneath during drilling to prevent stress fractures.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Install fasteners with washers and torque them only enough to create a snug fit, allowing for expansion and contraction.

Common Applications
