VT machining offers CNC Reaming for C360 Brass (UNS C36000 / CuZn36Pb3 / Free-cutting brass), typically supplied half-hard. Machinability benchmark for copper alloys (100%); lead breaks chips cleanly.
CNC Reaming Notes for C360 Brass
Reaming C360 Brass gives H7 holes with a fine finish; stock allowance is set by hole diameter so the reamer cuts cleanly.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C360 Brass weighs about 0.85 kg.
