VT machining offers CNC Laser Cutting 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 Laser Cutting Notes for C260 Brass
Fibre-laser cutting of C260 Brass sheet gives a narrow kerf with minimal burr.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C260 Brass weighs about 0.85 kg.

Why is C260 Brass a good choice for CNC Laser Cutting?
C260 Brass is free-machining with good conductivity, which makes it well suited to CNC Laser Cutting. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished C260 Brass cutting part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What is CNC Laser Cutting C260 Brass and how is it done?
CNC Laser Cutting C260 Brass refers to cNC fiber laser cutting follows a programmed path to cut sheet and plate with a clean, narrow kerf. 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.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Laser Cutting C260 Brass?
CNC Laser Cutting 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 material thickness or size range suits CNC Laser Cutting C260 Brass?
Laser-cut C260 Brass thickness depends on the alloy and its reflectivity; we tune the fiber source and assist gas accordingly.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Laser Cutting on C260 Brass?
Laser cutting leaves C260 Brass with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge and only a small heat-affected zone.
