Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for stainless steel.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for cutting stainless steel to prevent premature wear and ensure clean cuts.
Insufficient lubrication during cutting or forming operations.Apply a suitable cutting fluid or lubricant liberally during all machining processes to reduce friction, dissipate heat, and prolong tool life.

Common Applications

  • Custom abrasive pad manufacturing
