Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate cutting tools leading to burrs and material deformation.Utilize specialized carbide or diamond-tipped cutting blades designed for stainless steel to ensure clean cuts and minimize burr formation.
Failing to properly clean the material after cutting, risking contamination.Thoroughly degrease and clean the cut sheet with a non-abrasive solvent and lint-free cloths to remove any cutting fluids or debris.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic cylinder housings
  • High-pressure manifold fabrication
  • Corrosive environment pneumatic enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when cutting or fabricating.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with stainless steel to avoid inhalation of fine particles.
