Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to jagged edges or material deformation.Utilize cutting tools specifically designed for brass or sheet metal, ensuring blades are sharp and appropriate for the thickness being cut.
Failing to deburr edges after cutting, which can cause injury or hinder subsequent assembly.Always file or grind down all cut edges to remove sharp burrs and create a smooth, safe surface.
