Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to material deformation or imprecise edges.Employ high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for brass, such as band saws or CNC routers, to ensure clean and accurate cuts.
Failing to deburr edges after cutting, which can create potential leak paths or interfere with sealing surfaces.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a deburring tool or fine-grit sandpaper to achieve smooth, clean surfaces essential for hydraulic integrity.

Common Applications
