Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without peck drilling can cause heat buildup and melting.Employ peck drilling techniques and use sharp drill bits designed for plastics to manage heat and ensure clean holes.
Excessive force during fastening can lead to stress cracking.Use oversized holes and washers when fastening to allow for thermal expansion and contraction and prevent point loading.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
