Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for thick stainless steel, leading to poor edge quality and tool damage.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically rated for stainless steel, ensuring proper coolant application.
Neglecting proper material handling, resulting in surface scratches or deformation of the sheet edges.Utilize padded lifting equipment and maintain a controlled environment during transport and staging to preserve surface integrity.
