Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a saw blade with large teeth, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ a fine-tooth carbide-tipped blade for clean, precise cuts.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, causing stress fractures.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes, typically at least twice the hole diameter.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Sight Glasses

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV light without UV-protective coatings, as it may lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Use caution when working with sharp tools; polycarbonate can be scratched.
