Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to contamination.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and ensure cleanliness to prevent galling and cross-contamination.
Not deburring edges, leading to potential safety hazards and interference with seals.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file or deburring tool to ensure a smooth, safe finish.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • Custom valve body construction
  • Protective enclosures for pneumatic components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid personal injury from sharp edges.
