Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using an incorrect blade type for sawing brass.Employ a bi-metal or carbide-tipped blade designed for cutting non-ferrous metals to prevent blade damage and ensure clean cuts.
Insufficient clamping leading to vibration during cutting.Ensure the brass sheet is rigidly clamped along the entire cut line to minimize vibration and prevent inaccuracies or workpiece movement.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Connectors and Terminals
  • Heat Exchanger Components
  • Decorative Architectural Elements
