| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, which can cause contamination and rust. | Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools, such as carbide-tipped blades or waterjet cutting, to maintain material integrity. |
| Improper edge finishing, leading to micro-cracks or stress risers. | Employ proper deburring techniques, such as filing or belt sanding with fine grit abrasives, to achieve a smooth, uniform edge profile. |
