Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, leading to contamination and potential rust spots.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools (e.g., abrasive cut-off wheels, plasma cutters) and ensure they are clean.
Insufficient support during forming, resulting in unwanted deformation or stress risers.Use appropriate jigs, dies, and support structures to maintain dimensional accuracy during bending and shaping.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication and metal art
  • Industrial equipment components
