Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for brass thickness.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized metal shears designed for thicker non-ferrous metals to achieve clean cuts and prolong tool life.
Insufficient lubrication during machining or cutting.Apply a suitable cutting fluid or oil generously to the cutting area to dissipate heat, lubricate the tool, and prevent material galling.

Common Applications
