Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to sheet deformation or warping.Use a torque wrench and tighten fasteners in a cross-pattern to achieve even clamping force, and consult fastener torque charts for appropriate values based on material and fastener size.
Improper cleaning of the sheet surface before critical assembly or measurement.Thoroughly clean the sheet surface with a degreaser and lint-free cloths to remove oils, dust, and any other contaminants that could affect accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Fabrication of precision jigs and fixtures
  • Base plates for inspection equipment
  • Custom tooling for metrology applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid nicks or scratches that could compromise dimensional integrity.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or welding to avoid inhalation of fumes.
