Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during manual threading, leading to cross-threading.Always hand-thread the screw initially to feel for smooth engagement. If resistance is met, back it out and re-align.
Over-tightening the cap screw, which can strip threads or compromise material integrity.Employ a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to the recommended torque specifications for the specific application and materials being joined.
