Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cutting technique leading to burrs or uneven edges.Use sharp cutting tools and follow manufacturer recommendations for material thickness. Deburr all edges thoroughly after cutting.
Failure to consider material expansion/contraction in design.Account for thermal expansion coefficients of stainless steel in the design, especially for large panels or in environments with significant temperature fluctuations.
