Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, leading to material contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting blades and finishing tools to prevent carbide precipitation and maintain material integrity.
Improper handling or storage leading to surface scratches or dents, compromising aesthetic and functional integrity.Store sheets flat on a clean, dry surface, protected by plastic sheeting if necessary, and handle with care using padded equipment.
