Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without appropriate speeds and feeds.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits or use standard bits at significantly reduced speeds and feeds, with adequate cooling, to prevent melting and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations.Secure fasteners snugly but do not overtighten. Utilize washers to distribute load and prevent direct contact with the polycarbonate surface.

Common Applications
