Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools without proper coolant can lead to excessive heat and material deformation.Employ coolant during all cutting operations to dissipate heat and maintain material integrity.
Improperly supporting the sheet during cutting can result in vibration and inaccurate dimensions.Securely support the sheet with appropriate clamping mechanisms or a cutting jig to prevent movement.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Manifold Blocks
  • Actuator Housings
  • Structural Components for Air Compressors

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting.
