Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ sharp, fine-toothed blades and maintain a moderate cutting speed to prevent melting or chipping.
Aggressively drilling holes without proper technique.Use a sharp drill bit designed for plastics, start at a slow speed, and apply steady pressure to avoid stress cracks.

Common Applications
