Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper cooling.Employ specialized plastic drill bits and use a slow, consistent speed with adequate cooling lubricant to prevent melting and chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Utilize washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Consider slotted holes for thermal expansion.
