Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or uneven edges.Employ specialized metal cutting tools and ensure blades are sharp. Always deburr edges after cutting.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during machining or assembly.Allow for expansion gaps where critical, especially in high-temperature hydraulic systems.
