Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper technique, leading to cracking.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped drill bits with a slow, steady feed rate. Pecker drilling (intermittent drilling) can help clear chips and prevent overheating.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential failure.Employ washers and avoid over-tightening. Hand-tighten plus a quarter turn is generally sufficient. Consider using self-tapping screws designed for plastics.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for pulling and lifting equipment
  • Protective covers for sensitive components in lifting systems
  • Sight windows for inspection in harsh industrial environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coating, as it may degrade material properties over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining polycarbonate to prevent fume buildup.
