Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using improper cutting tools, leading to jagged edges and material deformation.Utilize high-quality metal cutting tools such as a band saw with a fine-tooth blade, a metal chop saw, or a shear specifically designed for stainless steel.
Failing to deburr edges after cutting, creating safety hazards and potential for component interference.Always use a deburring tool or file to smooth all cut edges, ensuring a safe and functional finish.

Common Applications

  • Custom wear plates for conveyor systems
  • Protective covers for lubrication reservoirs
