Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for thick brass.Employ specialized carbide or diamond-tipped tooling and ensure adequate coolant is used to prevent overheating and tool wear.
Over-bending or forming without proper annealing.If significant deformation is required, consider intermediate annealing steps to restore ductility and prevent cracking, especially in complex shapes.
