Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or shaping, leading to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ stainless steel or carbide-tipped tools specifically designed for working with stainless steel to prevent cross-contamination.
Inadequate edge finishing after cutting, resulting in sharp burrs and potential safety hazards.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using files, grinding wheels, or specialized deburring tools to achieve a smooth and safe finish.
