Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools for the thickness, leading to poor edge quality or tool damage.Utilize heavy-duty cutting equipment rated for materials exceeding 0.75 inches in thickness.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during welding or forming, potentially causing distortion.Implement proper welding techniques and consider pre-heating or post-weld heat treatment for large fabrications.

Common Applications

  • Custom Fabrication & Prototyping
