Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication.Employ high-speed steel or carbide tooling with a dedicated brass cutting fluid to prevent galling and ensure smooth finishes.
Overheating the brass during fabrication, leading to material degradation.Maintain a consistent feed rate and depth of cut, and utilize effective coolant systems to manage heat buildup.
