Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or melting.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped saw blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to ensure clean edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracking around mounting points.Install fasteners with washers and avoid excessive torque; consider using oversized holes with expansion grommets.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
