Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard saw blade, which can cause chipping or melting of the polycarbonate.Employ a fine-tooth carbide-tipped saw blade specifically designed for plastics or use a laser cutter for clean, precise cuts.
Applying excessive force during cutting or drilling, leading to stress cracks.Use slow, steady pressure and ensure proper support for the sheet to minimize stress concentrations.

Common Applications
