Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools for stainless steel, leading to poor edge quality.Employ carbide-tipped blades or plasma cutters specifically designed for stainless steel to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Failing to deburr cut edges, creating potential hazards and compromising seal integrity.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file or specialized deburring tool to remove sharp fragments.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder construction
  • Pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • Corrosion-resistant pneumatic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating to mitigate particulate inhalation.
