Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a saw blade not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize a high-tooth-count, fine-kerf saw blade specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate or acrylic plastics.
Applying excessive pressure during cutting, causing stress fractures.Maintain a steady, moderate pressure and allow the saw to do the work, preventing undue stress on the material.
