Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can induce excessive heat and alter material properties.Utilize tools designed for stainless steel, such as abrasive cut-off wheels or plasma cutters, maintaining proper coolant flow.
Inadequate deburring, leading to stress risers and potential premature failure.Employ file, deburring tool, or grinding wheel to create a smooth, consistent edge radius.

Common Applications
