| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using an incorrect blade or abrasive for cutting stainless steel. | Always use blades specifically designed for cutting stainless steel (e.g., carbide-tipped, bi-metal) or appropriate abrasive discs, and ensure they are sharp and in good condition. |
| Insufficient clamping of the stock sheet, leading to vibration and inaccurate cuts. | Securely clamp the sheet at multiple points along the cut line to minimize movement and ensure a clean, precise cut. |
| Overheating the material during cutting, leading to material degradation and discoloration. | Utilize a lubricant or coolant during the cutting process and maintain a consistent, controlled cutting speed to manage heat buildup. |
