Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for the sheet thickness, leading to uneven stress distribution and potential warping.Utilize fasteners with a shank diameter and length suitable for the 0.717" thickness, ensuring they are tightened to manufacturer specifications.
Cutting or shaping the brass without proper coolant, which can lead to tool wear and poor surface finish.Employ a suitable cutting fluid or coolant during all machining operations to maintain tool longevity and achieve desired tolerances and surface quality.

Common Applications

  • Custom chutes and guides
  • Wear plates for conveyor systems
  • Specialized brackets and supports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting or machining.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during any welding or grinding operations to avoid inhalation of fumes.
