Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drilling bits without chip breakers.Utilize specialized drill bits for plastics or standard bits with a reduced rake angle to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracking.Employ washers and hand-tighten fasteners, allowing adequate clearance for thermal expansion and contraction.
