Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or uneven edges.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cut-off wheels specifically designed for brass or similar non-ferrous metals. Always follow the tool manufacturer's recommendations for speed and feed rates.
Inadequate deburring of cut edges.Employ a deburring tool or a fine-grit file to meticulously remove all sharp edges and metal shavings from the cut surfaces. This is crucial for preventing leaks and ensuring proper component assembly.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Fabrication
