Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to premature tool wear and poor cut quality.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, and utilize a suitable cutting fluid for cooling and lubrication.
Applying excessive force during bending or forming, which can lead to work hardening and potential cracking.Perform bending operations within the material's recommended limits and consider annealing if significant deformation is required.
