Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for the weight capacity.Select fasteners with a shear strength rating that exceeds the maximum anticipated load for the component.
Improper edge finishing leading to stress concentrations.Apply a consistent chamfer or radius to all cut edges to mitigate stress risers and prevent premature fatigue.
