| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to rapid tool wear and suboptimal cuts. | Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, using appropriate cutting fluids to reduce friction and heat. |
| Insufficient clamping of the sheet during cutting, resulting in vibration, inaccurate cuts, and potential safety hazards. | Ensure the stock sheet is securely clamped to a stable work surface with robust clamps or a vise, minimizing any movement during the cutting process. |
