Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper coolant, leading to excessive heat and material hardening.Employ high-speed steel or carbide tooling with liberal coolant application to maintain material properties.
Inadequate edge preparation, leaving sharp or rough surfaces that can compromise sealing and introduce stress risers.Thoroughly deburr and inspect all edges for smoothness and uniformity.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Pump and Valve Components
  • High-Pressure Fluid Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling metal stock.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when performing cutting or machining operations.
