Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to heat buildup and poor cut quality.Employ cutting tools specifically designed for non-ferrous metals like brass, and always use cutting fluid or oil to maintain a cool cutting edge and ensure a clean finish.
Applying excessive force during bending or forming operations, potentially causing stress fractures or deformation.Understand the material's ductility and perform bending operations within its elastic limit. Utilize bending dies and employ gradual pressure to avoid overworking the material.

Common Applications
