Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during initial abrading, leading to uneven material removal.Start with a coarser grit and lighter pressure, gradually moving to finer grits with controlled force for a uniform finish.
Failing to adequately clean the surface between grit changes, resulting in scratch contamination.Thoroughly clean the workpiece and abrading tool with a suitable solvent or compressed air after each grit progression.
