VT machining offers CNC Bending for C268 Brass (UNS C26800 / CuZn33 / Yellow brass), typically supplied annealed or half-hard. Slightly cheaper, higher-zinc alternative to C260 for forming.
CNC Bending Notes for C268 Brass
C268 Brass bends to a tight inside radius (about 1× thickness) in this condition.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C268 Brass weighs about 0.85 kg.
Process Data for CNC Bending C268 Brass
| Minimum inside bend radius | ~1 × t (across the grain) |

Does CNC Bending C268 Brass require dedicated tooling?
Most C268 Brass forming work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Bending C268 Brass?
Achievable tolerances for C268 Brass forming depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Can VT machining make custom C268 Brass parts to my drawing?
Yes. C268 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.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Bending C268 Brass?
We form C268 Brass sheet and plate to your developed flat pattern and bend sequence.
