Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can lead to excessive heat and poor cut quality.Employ tools specifically designed for non-ferrous metals like brass, ensuring proper blade set and cooling methods.
Inadequate cleaning prior to fabrication, leading to tool fouling and surface imperfections.Thoroughly degrease and clean the brass surface before any cutting, bending, or welding operations.

Common Applications

  • Electrical connectors and components
