Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking blades for cutting.Employ specialized blades designed for plastics, such as fine-tooth carbide-tipped blades or diamond-tipped blades, to prevent chipping and melting.
Applying excessive force during drilling or cutting.Use moderate pressure and appropriate feed rates to avoid generating excessive heat, which can lead to material deformation or cracking.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding and Safety Shields
  • Industrial Enclosures and Covers
  • Protective Windows and Glazing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and fabricating polycarbonate.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface; use mild soap and water for cleaning.
