Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate fastening methods that could lead to sheet detachment under stress.Select fasteners or bonding agents rated for the anticipated shear and tensile loads specific to the abrasive application.
Subjecting the brass to extreme temperatures without considering its thermal expansion properties.Account for thermal expansion and contraction in the design and installation to prevent warping or structural failure.

Common Applications

  • Custom abrasive pad fabrication
  • Polishing fixture components
  • Decorative metal finishing substrates
