Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for thick stainless steel.Employ carbide-tipped or diamond-edge cutting blades specifically engineered for heavy gauge stainless steel to prevent premature tool wear and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding.Thoroughly degrease and remove any surface contaminants from the weld area to prevent porosity and ensure weld integrity.

Common Applications
