Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard saw blade, leading to chipping and cracking.Employ a blade specifically designed for plastics, such as a fine-tooth carbide-tipped blade or a specialized polycarbonate blade.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress and potential fracture.Use appropriate clearance holes and consider using rubber washers or grommets to distribute pressure evenly.
