Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for stainless steel thickness.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for cutting thick stainless steel to prevent tool damage and ensure clean edges.
Insufficient support during cutting or forming operations.Ensure the sheet is adequately supported to prevent warping or unwanted deformation during fabrication processes, maintaining dimensional accuracy.
