Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting blades not designed for plastics.Employ carbide-tipped blades with a fine tooth pitch and appropriate rake angles to prevent chipping and melting.
Applying excessive force during drilling, leading to cracking.Use a sharp drill bit designed for plastics and employ a slow, steady feed rate with adequate chip clearance.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards
  • Protective shielding
  • Glazing for industrial equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, as they may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Proper ventilation is recommended during cutting or heating processes.
