Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper precautions.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and ensure adequate lubrication or coolant to prevent galling and heat buildup.
Failing to deburr cut edges adequately.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using files or grinding tools to remove sharp burrs and prevent potential injury or component damage.
