Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard wood or metal cutting blade.Always use a blade specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate or plastics to prevent cracking and splintering.
Applying excessive force during cutting.Allow the saw to do the work; excessive force can lead to stress fractures and poor cut quality.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding
  • Protective Barriers
  • Glazing & Skylights

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or fabricating to dissipate dust.
