| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to premature tool wear and contamination. | Employ specialized carbide or diamond-tipped cutting tools designed for stainless steel to maintain sharpness and prevent material degradation. |
| Improper handling leading to scratches or dents on the surface, compromising aesthetic and functional integrity. | Always use clean, non-marring gloves and handle the sheet with care, avoiding dragging it across rough surfaces. |
