Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to edge chipping or melting.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for plastics. Ensure proper feed rates and cooling to prevent overheating.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Utilize washers to distribute load and tighten fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact where possible.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Reservoir Fabrication
