Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools with adequate coolant and lubrication to prevent excessive heat buildup and tool wear.
Not accounting for material expansion and contraction due to temperature changes in large installations.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible connections where significant temperature fluctuations are anticipated.
