Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the cutting area is clean and free of contaminants. 2. Carefully measure and mark the desired cut lines using appropriate marking tools. 3. Utilize suitable cutting equipment (e.g., shear, plasma cutter) calibrated for 0.170" stainless steel, maintaining blade sharpness to prevent burrs. 4. Deburr all cut edges to ensure a smooth finish and prevent potential hazards.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull cutting tools, leading to rough edges and potential material deformation.Maintain sharp cutting blades and use appropriate cutting speeds to achieve clean cuts and minimize stress on the material.
Inadequate edge deburring, creating sharp edges that are a safety hazard and can affect subsequent fabrication steps.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file, deburring tool, or grinding wheel to ensure a smooth and safe finish.

Common Applications
