Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate. Ensure proper blade set and feed rate.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Employ washers and do not overtighten. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction by using slotted holes or expansion joints where appropriate.
