Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can cause excessive heat or burring.Employ sharp, dedicated metal cutting blades or appropriate laser/plasma cutters for clean cuts and minimal heat affected zones.
Failing to properly deburr edges, leading to safety hazards and poor fitment.Always use a deburring tool or file to ensure all cut edges are smooth and free of sharp points.
