CNC Brass Precision Parts CNC Machining Custom Turning CNC Parts Metal Turned Parts
The most advantageous application of CNC machining lies in one-off manufacturing tasks and the
production of a moderate volume ranging from several hundred to 1000 parts.
For the cost-effectiveness, we strongly recommend employing CNC machining for crafting metal
prototypes. Additionally, when your components demand exceptionally tight tolerances,
CNC machining stands out as the preferred choice.
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.
Common Brass Materials | |
No. | Properties |
Brass Cz121 | Brass Cz121/C360 (CNC) is a highly machinable alloy with good tensile strength and natural corrosion resistance. Ideal for parts that require low friction. |
Brass C360 | Brass C360 (CNC) is highly machinable alloy with good tensile strength and natural corrosion resistance. Ideal for parts that require low friction. |
Brass Finishing and Post-Processing
360 Brass has a shiny yellow finish that varies depending on surface roughness.
It can be hand-polished to increase its sheen, or media blasted for more of a matte texture.

Applications of CNC Brass Parts
The turning process is employed to manufacture rotational components, typically axi-symmetric,
featuring a range of characteristics such as holes, grooves, threads, tapers, various diameter steps,
and contoured surfaces.
Products crafted exclusively through turning often encompass items produced in small quantities,
particularly for prototypes, like custom-designed shafts and fasteners.
Turning is frequently utilized as a secondary procedure to incorporate or enhance features on
components initially manufactured using a different technique.
Examples of items manufactured through turning encompass camshafts, crankshafts, baseball bats,
bowls, cue sticks, signboards, musical instruments, and legs for tables and chairs.

FAQ's
1. What are the minimum and maximum dimensions you can machine?
Our CNC machining services encompass CNC milling (3-axis, 3+2-axis, and 5-axis) as well as turning.
For 3/3+2-axis CNC milling, we can machine parts with dimensions up to 2000 x 1500 x 200 mm
(78.7 x 59.0 x 7.8 in.). In the case of 5-axis milling, the maximum part size is 650 x 650 x 300 mm
(25.5 x 25.5 x 11.8 in.).
For CNC turning, we can handle parts with a maximum diameter of 431 mm (17 in.) and a length of
990 mm (39 in.). Recommended minimum part dimensions are approximately 10 x 10 x 10 mm
(0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 in.), and feature dimensions should not go below 0.5 mm.
It's important to note that our platform has a limitation of a maximum part size of 1000 mm (39 in.).
If your project requires dimensions beyond this limit, please contact our sales team to discuss your
specific needs.
2. How much does CNC machining cost?
The cost of CNC machining is influenced by factors such as complexity, quantity, and lead time.
For an accurate assessment, the best approach is to submit a 3D CAD model, allowing us to provide
an interactive quote along with design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback.
Notably, our use of proprietary software and automated fixturing processes eliminates upfront
non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs. This streamlined approach makes purchasing quantities
as low as 1 to 200 parts cost-effective.
While prices may be comparable to or slightly higher than 3D printing, CNC machining offers superior
material properties and surface finishes.
3. Why choose CNC machining?
CNC machining offers several advantages, making it a preferred manufacturing solution:
1. Speed: CNC machining is known for its rapid production capabilities, allowing for the quick creation
of end-use parts.
2. Accuracy: The precision of CNC machining ensures high-quality and accurate parts, meeting tight
tolerances and specifications.
3. Versatility: CNC machining is a versatile process suitable for a wide range of materials and part
complexities. It can handle various geometries and designs.
4. Cost-Efficiency: Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, CNC machining doesn't require
expensive hard tooling or elaborate set-ups, contributing to cost savings.
