Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for thick stainless steel, leading to poor cut quality and tool damage.Employ high-quality plasma cutters, abrasive waterjets, or specialized metal shears designed for 0.519" thick stainless steel.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in weak or contaminated weld joints.Thoroughly degrease and remove any oxides or contaminants from the weld area using stainless steel wire brushes and appropriate solvents.
