Most common 5 mistakes in metal cutting and how to avoid them

1. Wrong technology
Each material needs the right method. The wrong choice means lower quality, slower process, and higher costs.

2. Poor material preparation
If the material is dirty or misaligned, errors and delays follow.

3. Ignoring tolerances
Every fraction of a millimeter matters. Without precision, parts won’t fit.

4. Lack of maintenance
Machines without regular service lose accuracy and cause costly downtime.

5. Limited material knowledge
Steel, aluminum, and stainless require different approaches. Without expertise, mistakes happen.
