Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate cutting tools, leading to rough edges and potential material stress.Employ high-quality metal shears, plasma cutters, or abrasive saws designed for thick stainless steel to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Failing to account for thermal expansion in system design.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible mounting methods where significant temperature fluctuations are anticipated to prevent buckling or stress.
