Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits for metal, leading to cracking.Utilize specialized plastic drill bits or a standard bit with a reduced lip angle and slow RPM to prevent heat buildup and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential fracture.Employ washers and do not overtighten. Leave a slight clearance in mounting holes to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
