| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect tooling for cutting thicker stainless steel, leading to blade damage or poor cut quality. | Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for metal fabrication and appropriate for the thickness of 316 stainless steel. |
| Inadequate preparation of weld joints, resulting in weak or contaminated welds. | Ensure thorough cleaning of weld areas to remove contaminants and oxides, and maintain proper joint beveling and shielding gas coverage during welding. |
