Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drilling bits without proper technique, leading to cracking.Utilize sharp, high-speed steel drill bits specifically designed for plastics, and employ a slow, consistent feed rate with adequate cooling.
Applying excessive clamping pressure, causing localized stress.Employ a moderate clamping force, distributing pressure evenly with rubber washers or spacers to prevent deformation and stress concentrations.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
  • Sight glasses and viewing panels
  • Temperature and pressure resistant covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not exceed the material's maximum service temperature to prevent deformation.
