Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for thick stainless steel, leading to poor edge quality or tool damage.Employ carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cutting discs specifically rated for stainless steel to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in weak or contaminated welds.Thoroughly clean the weld area with a stainless steel brush and degreaser to remove oils, dirt, and any other contaminants.
