Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for thick stainless steel, leading to excessive heat and material distortion.Employ high-quality, industrial-grade cutting blades or plasma torches specifically rated for thick stainless steel to manage heat and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate support during cutting, resulting in vibration and inaccurate dimensions.Ensure the sheet is securely clamped and supported along the cutting path to minimize vibration and maintain precise alignment.
