Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or improperly calibrated cutting tools, leading to edge deformation.Employ high-quality, sharp cutting tools specifically designed for carbon steel of this thickness, ensuring they are calibrated for precision.
Inadequate clamping leading to sheet movement and inaccurate machining.Utilize a sufficient number of robust clamps, strategically placed to maintain complete rigidity of the stock sheet throughout all fabrication processes.
