Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for thick stainless steel.Employ carbide-tipped or high-speed steel cutting tools specifically designed for working with hardened stainless steels to prevent premature tool wear and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate support during welding, leading to distortion.Utilize robust clamping and fixturing to maintain dimensional stability during welding operations, accounting for thermal expansion and contraction of the 0.929" thick material.
