Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or deformation.Employ sharp, metal-specific cutting tools such as shears or a plasma cutter, and deburr edges thoroughly after cutting.
Inadequate fastening, resulting in movement or structural failure.Utilize corrosion-resistant fasteners (e.g., stainless steel screws or rivets) and ensure sufficient quantity and placement for secure mounting.

Common Applications

  • Custom splash guards for sinks and wash stations
