Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper technique, leading to cracking or chipping.Employ a slow drill speed and a drill bit specifically designed for plastics, ensuring proper support for the sheet during drilling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential failure.Use washers and avoid excessive force when tightening fasteners; consider slotted holes for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic control panel enclosures
