Custom Brass Parts CNC Precise Machining Part Metal Turning Services
Custom CNC machining represents the prevailing technology in subtractive manufacturing,
offering an optimal solution for crafting bespoke metal and plastic parts tailored to the specific
needs of prototyping and production.
Utilizing CAD (computer-aided design) modeling software and G-code, CNC milling and CNC
turning machines meticulously eliminate material from a solid workpiece with unmatched
precision and speed.
CNC machines excel in the production of robust parts characterized by tight tolerances and
an array of impressive material properties, encompassing both mechanical and chemical aspects.
Our custom CNC machining service is exceptionally suitable for one-off projects and
low-to-medium volume production, harnessing the benefits of automation and high repeatability.
Product Details
Brass is a metal alloy known for its low friction properties, exceptional electrical conductivity,
and distinctive golden appearance.
This material offers good machinability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that
demand low friction and high electrical conductivity.

Applications of CNC Brass Parts
CNC machining finds diverse applications across various industries. In the woodworking sector,
CNC machining is extensively used for:
1. Woodworking Industries:
CNC machining plays a crucial role in the production of wooden furniture, offering time and cost
savings. It enables the creation of furniture with intricate geometries that would be labor-intensive
and costly to achieve manually.
2. Lettering and Engraving Systems:
CNC machining is employed for applications that involve engraving tools to mark patterns or text
onto surfaces. This is utilized for artistic purposes or for serializing parts.
3. Electrical Industry:
The demand for CNC-machined parts in the electronics industry is vast. CNC machining is used for
tasks such as machining component mounting holes in printed circuit boards and creating
aluminum or copper heat sinks for heat-generating electrical components.
4. Pharmaceutical Industry:
CNC machines are utilized in the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture precise equipment for
the production of pharmaceutical products. This includes applications like machining extremely
precise metering pumps, ingredient-dispensing nozzles, and packaging.
5. Food and Beverage Industry:
CNC machining plays a role in the fast-moving consumer goods industry, where custom
material-handling machinery incorporates CNC machined parts. Additionally, injection molds for
food packaging made from plastics are CNC machined.
The versatility of CNC machining extends across industries, contributing to the efficiency and
precision of various manufacturing processes.

FAQ's
1. Understanding Standard Machining Tolerances:
The standard machining tolerance is ± 0.005" or 0.13mm, defining the acceptable range for a
dimension. If a CNC machining tool has a tolerance of ± 0.01 mm, it implies a deviation of
0.01 mm in each cut.
When accompanied by a drawing, our CNC machining service can achieve CNC parts with
tolerances as low as ± 0.0002 in. In the absence of a drawing, all CNC parts are produced
following our ISO 2768 medium standard. Additionally, we have the capability to machine to
tighter tolerances, such as ±0.025mm or ±0.001", when an engineering drawing specifies
critical features.
2. Fillet Sizes Applied in the Absence of Specific 3D Model or Drawing Instructions:
In cases where a specific fillet radius is not specified in the 3D model or drawing, fillet radii
suitable for easy machining will be added based on the machinist's judgment.
As a general guideline, internal vertical edge radii may exceed 1/3 of the depth, while internal
horizontal edges can either be left sharp or have a radius in the range of 0.5mm to 1mm.
Specific fillet requirements should be indicated if needed.
3. Wide Industry Spectrum and Global Clientele:
Our clientele encompasses a wide range of industries, including heavy equipment manufacturing,
general commercial businesses, and companies in industrial, transportation, medical,
and consumer sectors, among others.
Operating on a global scale, our customers are located in the United States, Europe, and various
parts of the world. The common thread among our diverse clientele is the shared need for
precision-machined parts that meet specifications, are delivered punctually, and stay within
budget constraints.
