Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking blades which can cause chipping or melting.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades designed for plastics, ensuring proper tooth geometry and feed rate.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking or spiderwebbing.Use oversized holes and rubber washers, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate.
