Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong abrasive grit for the desired finish.Consult abrasive manufacturer's guidelines for optimal grit selection based on the target surface roughness and material being processed.
Insufficient clamping leading to sheet movement and uneven finishing.Utilize a robust clamping system that provides uniform pressure across the entire sheet to maintain stability during operation.

Common Applications
