Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that may lead to excessive heat and material deformation.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools with adequate coolant to maintain material integrity and achieve clean cuts.
Failing to properly deburr edges, introducing particulate contamination into the hydraulic circuit.Utilize a deburring tool or file to meticulously remove all burrs from cut edges, ensuring a clean and safe hydraulic system.
