Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a bent or warped sheet as a reference surface.Always inspect the sheet for flatness before critical measurements or fabrication.
Exposing the 304 stainless steel to highly corrosive chemicals without verification of compatibility.Verify the chemical resistance of 304 stainless steel against the specific substances it will encounter.

Common Applications

  • Precision gauging and calibration surfaces
  • Custom jig and fixture fabrication
  • Reference planes for optical inspection systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratching the surface, which can compromise measurement accuracy.
  • Ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn during handling and fabrication.
