Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during abrading, leading to material removal beyond specification.Employ controlled, consistent pressure and monitor material removal rates closely. Utilize appropriate grit progression for desired finish.
Inadequate clamping, causing vibration and inconsistent surface finish.Utilize robust and evenly distributed clamping to ensure the sheet remains stationary and stable throughout the process.

Common Applications

  • Precision surface finishing for critical components
  • Tooling and fixture fabrication requiring high surface integrity
