Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and allow for expansion by not fully tightening fasteners; consider slotted holes.
Using incorrect cutting tools, resulting in chipping or melting.Employ sharp, fine-tooth blades designed for plastics, and maintain a consistent feed rate.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding
  • Safety glazing
  • Protective barriers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
