Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Incorrectly measuring or marking the sheet prior to cutting, leading to material waste or incorrect final dimensions.Double-check all measurements and use a reliable marking tool. Employ a template or jig for repetitive cuts to ensure accuracy.
Using inappropriate cutting tools or techniques that can cause excessive heat, burring, or distortion of the stainless steel.Select cutting methods and tools designed for stainless steel of this thickness. Maintain proper coolant flow and cutting speeds to minimize heat and achieve clean edges.
