Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized polycarbonate cutting tools for clean, chip-free edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use a sufficient number of fasteners and ensure they are snug but not excessively tight, considering thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Custom bearing guides
  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Protective covers for lubrication points

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without protective coatings, as it may degrade the material over time.
  • Maintain appropriate ventilation when machining to prevent the buildup of airborne dust particles.
