Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a blade with too few teeth or a coarse pitch.Employ a high-quality carbide-tipped blade with a fine tooth pitch (e.g., 60-80 teeth) designed for plastics to minimize chipping and stress.
Applying excessive feed pressure during sawing.Maintain a consistent, moderate feed rate. Allow the blade to do the work and avoid forcing the material, which can lead to heat buildup and cracking.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Industrial Glazing
  • Safety Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves during cutting and handling.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
