Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized saw blades with a high tooth count and appropriate rake angle, or utilize laser cutting for clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential material failure.Use washers to distribute load and tighten fasteners until snug, avoiding excessive torque. Consider threaded inserts for enhanced durability.
