Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong abrasive grit for the desired finish.Consult abrasive manufacturer recommendations and perform test runs on scrap material to determine the optimal grit sequence for your specific application and desired surface finish.
Insufficient clamping leading to sheet movement during operation.Utilize a sufficient number of robust clamps or a secure fixture to prevent any unintended movement of the stainless steel sheet during aggressive abrading or polishing cycles.
