Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard wood or metal cutting blades, leading to chipping and cracking.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades designed for plastics or polymers, ensuring proper tooth pitch and set for a clean cut.
Applying excessive force or heat during cutting, causing material stress and deformation.Maintain a steady, controlled cutting speed and use coolant if recommended for the specific cutting tool to dissipate heat.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Shields & Enclosures
  • Sight Glasses & Windows
  • Architectural Glazing
  • Point-of-Purchase Displays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong solvents and alkaline cleaners, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Implement proper ventilation during cutting and fabrication processes to manage dust and fumes.
