VT machining offers CNC 4-Axis Machining for C360 Brass (UNS C36000 / CuZn36Pb3 / Free-cutting brass), typically supplied half-hard. Machinability benchmark for copper alloys (100%); lead breaks chips cleanly.
CNC 4-Axis Machining Notes for C360 Brass
Multi-axis machining lets C360 Brass parts be completed in one or two setups, which improves feature-to-feature accuracy.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C360 Brass weighs about 0.85 kg.

What is CNC 4-Axis Machining C360 Brass and how is it done?
CNC 4-Axis Machining C360 Brass refers to four-axis machining adds a rotary axis for indexed or continuous machining around a part. Applied to C360 Brass — free-machining with good conductivity — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Can VT machining make custom C360 Brass parts to my drawing?
Yes. C360 Brass machining is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
Why is C360 Brass a good choice for CNC 4-Axis Machining?
C360 Brass is free-machining with good conductivity, which makes it well suited to CNC 4-Axis Machining. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished C360 Brass machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Does CNC 4-Axis Machining C360 Brass require dedicated tooling?
Most C360 Brass machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What surface finish is achievable on C360 Brass with CNC 4-Axis Machining?
Surface finish on C360 Brass is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC 4-Axis Machining C360 Brass?
Achievable tolerances for C360 Brass machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Milling holds positional and dimensional tolerances to around ±0.01 mm, tighter with precision setups. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
