VT machining offers CNC Routing for C360 Brass (UNS C36000 / CuZn36Pb3 / Free-cutting brass), typically supplied half-hard. Machinability benchmark for copper alloys (100%); lead breaks chips cleanly.
CNC Routing Notes for C360 Brass
C360 Brass routes well at high feed, which makes routing an economical way to profile sheet and plate.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C360 Brass weighs about 0.85 kg.

What tolerances can you hold for CNC Routing C360 Brass?
Achievable tolerances for C360 Brass machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Milling holds positional and dimensional tolerances to around ±0.01 mm, tighter with precision setups. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Routing C360 Brass?
CNC Routing prototypes for C360 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 Routing C360 Brass?
We machine C360 Brass across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
Does CNC Routing C360 Brass require dedicated tooling?
Most C360 Brass machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
Why is C360 Brass a good choice for CNC Routing?
C360 Brass is free-machining with good conductivity, which makes it well suited to CNC Routing. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished C360 Brass machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What surface finish is achievable on C360 Brass with CNC Routing?
Surface finish on C360 Brass is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
