Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during cutting or shaping, leading to material deformation or tool damage.Employ sharp, appropriate cutting tools and moderate feed rates to maintain material integrity. Utilize coolant where necessary to prevent overheating.
Failing to account for thermal expansion and contraction when used in environments with significant temperature fluctuations.Incorporate expansion joints or choose mounting methods that accommodate dimensional changes due to temperature variations.
