VT machining offers CNC Bending for C260 Brass (UNS C26000 / CuZn30 / Cartridge brass), typically supplied annealed or half-hard. Excellent cold-forming brass; not leaded, so chips are stringy compared with C360.
CNC Bending Notes for C260 Brass
C260 Brass bends to a tight inside radius (about 1× thickness) in this condition.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C260 Brass weighs about 0.85 kg.

Does CNC Bending C260 Brass require dedicated tooling?
Most C260 Brass forming work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Bending C260 Brass?
CNC Bending prototypes for C260 Brass can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
What is CNC Bending C260 Brass and how is it done?
CNC Bending C260 Brass refers to cNC bending forms sheet metal to precise angles using a programmed press brake and back-gauge. Applied to C260 Brass — free-machining with good conductivity — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Bending on C260 Brass?
Machined C260 Brass edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
Can VT machining make custom C260 Brass parts to my drawing?
Yes. C260 Brass forming 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.
