Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull or incorrect cutting tools, leading to rough edges and material deformation.Employ sharp, high-quality saw blades specifically designed for cutting non-ferrous metals like brass. Ensure proper blade speed and feed rate are maintained.
Overheating the brass during cutting or welding, which can alter its temper and mechanical properties.Use appropriate cooling methods, such as a cutting fluid or coolant, during machining. For welding, employ low heat input techniques and sufficient shielding gas.

Common Applications
