Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal cutting tools which can cause cracking or chipping.Employ specialized plastic cutting blades (e.g., fine-tooth carbide-tipped) or CNC routing for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks and reduced structural integrity.Employ washers and establish a consistent, moderate tightening torque. Consider slotted holes for expansion/contraction.

Common Applications
