| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication or speed control, leading to galling and poor surface finish. | Utilize specialized carbide or HSS tooling designed for stainless steel machining, employing flood coolant or a high-quality lubricant and maintaining appropriate cutting speeds and feed rates. |
| Inadequate deburring of edges, creating sharp points that can lead to premature wear or failure in hydraulic components. | Employ a radius or chamfer on all cut edges using a deburring tool or file, ensuring a smooth transition and removing any burrs that could compromise structural integrity or fluid flow. |
