Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can damage the sheet or create hazardous burrs.Utilize cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, such as carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cutting discs, and ensure they are sharp.
Neglecting to deburr edges after cutting, leading to potential safety hazards and poor fitment.Always deburr all cut edges thoroughly using a file or grinding tool to create a smooth, safe finish.
