Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using an inappropriate cutting blade or wheel for the material thickness and type.Select a blade/wheel specifically designed for cutting thick stainless steel, ensuring it has sufficient teeth or grit and is rated for the material's hardness.
Inadequate clamping of the stock sheet, leading to vibration and inaccurate cuts.Utilize multiple sturdy clamps to firmly secure the sheet, minimizing movement and ensuring a clean, precise cut.
