| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting tools not rated for thick stainless steel, leading to poor edge quality and tool damage. | Utilize high-quality, industrial-grade cutting tools specifically designed for thick stainless steel, such as abrasive cut-off wheels or plasma cutters, with appropriate coolant if necessary. |
| Inadequate support during fabrication, causing warping or deformation of the sheet. | Provide robust and evenly distributed support to the sheet throughout the fabrication process, especially during welding or bending operations, to maintain dimensional stability. |
