Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not suitable for brass, leading to rough edges and potential material stress.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for brass to ensure clean cuts and minimize material deformation.
Inadequate deburring of machined edges, which can cause micro-contaminants in hydraulic systems and damage seals.Thoroughly deburr all machined edges using appropriate tools, ensuring a smooth transition to prevent particulate generation and seal impingement.
