Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, leading to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools, ensuring they are clean and free from ferrous contamination.
Inadequate support during cutting or bending, resulting in deformation or material stress.Provide sufficient support to the sheet during all fabrication processes to maintain dimensional accuracy and integrity.
