Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal-cutting tools which can lead to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized carbide-tipped blades designed for cutting plastics or acrylics, ensuring a smooth and clean cut.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential fracture.Employ oversized holes or slots for fasteners and use washers to distribute load. Tighten screws only until snug, allowing for thermal expansion.
