Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to excessive heat and potential material deformation.Employ carbide-tipped or high-speed steel cutting tools with a consistent, appropriate lubricant to manage heat and ensure clean cuts.
Attempting to bend or form the sheet beyond its ductile limits, causing stress fractures or premature failure.Perform bending and forming operations within the recommended minimum bend radius for this specific brass alloy, considering its thickness and temper.
