Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during initial contact, leading to uneven material removal.Begin with lighter pressure and gradually increase as needed, monitoring the material removal rate.
Failing to maintain a consistent angle of contact with the abrading/polishing medium.Utilize guide tools or jigs to ensure a uniform angle throughout the process for an even finish.
