VT machining offers CNC Plasma Cutting for C360 Brass (UNS C36000 / CuZn36Pb3 / Free-cutting brass), typically supplied half-hard. Machinability benchmark for copper alloys (100%); lead breaks chips cleanly.
CNC Plasma Cutting Notes for C360 Brass
Plasma can cut C360 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 C360 Brass weighs about 0.85 kg.

Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
Can VT machining make custom C360 Brass parts to my drawing?
Yes. C360 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 tolerances can you hold for CNC Plasma Cutting C360 Brass?
Achievable tolerances for C360 Brass cutting depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Laser cutting holds contour tolerances to around ±0.05 mm depending on thickness. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Plasma Cutting on C360 Brass?
Laser cutting leaves C360 Brass with a narrow kerf and a clean, near burr-free edge and only a small heat-affected zone.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Plasma Cutting C360 Brass?
Laser-cut C360 Brass thickness depends on the alloy and its reflectivity; we tune the fiber source and assist gas accordingly.
