VT machining offers CNC Plasma 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 Plasma Cutting Notes for C260 Brass
Plasma can cut C260 Brass but leaves a rougher edge; for precision parts we usually recommend waterjet or laser instead.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C260 Brass weighs about 0.85 kg.

How clean are the edges produced by CNC Plasma 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.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Plasma Cutting C260 Brass?
CNC Plasma 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 Plasma Cutting C260 Brass?
Laser-cut C260 Brass thickness depends on the alloy and its reflectivity; we tune the fiber source and assist gas accordingly.
Can VT machining make custom C260 Brass parts to my drawing?
Yes. C260 Brass cutting 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 is CNC Plasma Cutting C260 Brass and how is it done?
CNC Plasma Cutting C260 Brass refers to cNC plasma cutting uses an ionized gas jet to sever thicker conductive plate at high speed. 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.
