Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using dull cutting tools, leading to rough edges and imprecise cuts.Utilize sharp, high-quality cutting blades or saw teeth appropriate for brass to achieve clean and accurate cuts.
Inadequate deburring, leaving sharp edges that can cause injury or interfere with subsequent assembly.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a deburring tool or file to create a smooth, safe surface.

Common Applications
