Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can deform the brass or create burrs.Utilize sharp, dedicated metal cutting tools such as band saws, abrasive cut-off wheels, or CNC milling machines, ensuring proper feed rates and cooling to prevent material damage.
Inadequate surface preparation of the mating component, leading to premature wear.Thoroughly clean and degrease the mating surface to ensure optimal contact and minimize friction. Consider a light surface finishing if the application demands extreme precision.

Common Applications

  • Plain Bearings and Bushings
  • Wear Plates and Strips
  • Guide Rails and Slides

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when cutting or machining brass, including safety glasses and gloves.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with brass, as dust and fumes can be harmful if inhaled.
