Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for thick gauge steel.Employ specialized carbide or diamond-tipped blades for precise and efficient cutting, minimizing heat buildup and tool wear.
Inadequate preparation for welding, leading to porosity or weak joints.Thoroughly clean the weld area using degreasers and wire brushes to remove any oxides, oils, or contaminants before initiating the welding process.

Common Applications
