Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for stainless steel.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools with appropriate lubrication and feed rates to prevent overheating and premature tool wear.
Neglecting to deburr edges after cutting.Always deburr all cut edges thoroughly to remove sharp burrs, preventing potential injury and ensuring a clean finish for subsequent operations.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated components for machinery
  • Abrasion-resistant wear plates and liners
  • Polishing substrates and jigs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection, when working with this material.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and grinding operations to avoid inhalation of metal dust.
