Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a blade with too few teeth or a coarse tooth pitchEmploy a blade with a higher TPI (Teeth Per Inch) count designed for non-ferrous metals to prevent chipping and ensure a cleaner cut.
Insufficient clamping of the materialUtilize multiple clamps strategically placed to maintain firm contact with the cutting surface, minimizing vibration and potential for blade binding.
