Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can cause burring or deformation.Employ cutting tools specifically designed for sheet metal fabrication to achieve clean edges and maintain dimensional accuracy.
Failing to account for material expansion/contraction during welding or forming.Implement appropriate pre-heating and post-heating procedures, and allow for thermal movement during fabrication processes.

Common Applications

  • Custom filter housing construction
