Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong gauge for the intended abrasive media.Consult abrasive media specifications and substrate requirements to select the optimal sheet thickness for effective material removal and desired finish.
Inadequate surface preparation prior to polishing.Thoroughly clean and degrease the stainless steel surface to remove contaminants that could interfere with the polishing process or cause surface defects.

Common Applications

  • Custom polishing fixtures and jigs
  • Abrasive media development and testing substrates
  • High-wear surface components in industrial machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when handling and processing stainless steel.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and grinding operations to avoid inhalation of metal dust or fumes.
