Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a saw blade designed for wood or metal, leading to chipping and rough edges.Employ a carbide-tipped, fine-tooth blade engineered for cutting polycarbonate to ensure a smooth, precise finish.
Applying excessive force during cutting, causing the material to overheat and melt.Maintain a moderate, consistent feed rate and consider using a lubricant or coolant to manage heat and prevent melting.

Common Applications
