Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance when drilling, typically at least 2 times the hole diameter.
Using abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding for inspection equipment
  • Custom measurement fixtures
  • Optical templates and jigs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged UV radiation without proper UV coating, as it may degrade over time.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline cleaning agents, as they can cause surface degradation.
