Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking blades for cutting.Employ high-speed saw blades with a fine-tooth pitch formulated for polycarbonate to prevent chipping and melting.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without proper support.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes and use a backing material to prevent stress cracking during the drilling process.
