Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or deformation.Utilize sharp, dedicated tools designed for cutting non-ferrous metals like brass, such as carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cut-off wheels.
Inadequate cleaning before installation, resulting in poor electrical contact.Thoroughly degrease and clean all surfaces of the brass sheet with an appropriate solvent to ensure optimal conductivity.
