Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a thinner gauge material for applications requiring high rigidity.Always select a stock sheet with sufficient thickness and material strength to meet the demands of your specific measuring or inspection task.
Not verifying the flatness of the stock sheet before critical measurements.Employ a precision straightedge or surface plate to confirm the flatness of the stock sheet prior to its use as a reference surface.
