Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can lead to excessive wear and poor cut quality.Employ carbide-tipped or specialized brass cutting tools for optimal results and extended tool life.
Inadequate support during machining, leading to vibration and inaccurate dimensions.Secure the brass sheet firmly with appropriate clamping fixtures to minimize vibration and maintain dimensional integrity.
