Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or routers designed for plastics to prevent chipping and melting.
Drilling holes too close to the edge.Maintain adequate edge distance for drilled holes (recommend at least 2x the hole diameter) to mitigate stress concentration.
