VT machining offers CNC Thread Grinding 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 Thread Grinding Notes for C260 Brass
Thread grinding on C260 Brass is used when lead accuracy or finish exceeds what cutting or rolling can achieve.

How clean are the edges produced by CNC Thread Grinding on C260 Brass?
Machined C260 Brass edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
What is CNC Thread Grinding C260 Brass and how is it done?
CNC Thread Grinding C260 Brass refers to thread grinding produces precise, high-finish threads on hardened parts and lead screws. 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 surface finish is achievable on C260 Brass with CNC Thread Grinding?
Grinding can take C260 Brass to a fine finish — typically Ra 0.1–0.4 µm, and to a mirror grade on suitable alloys.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Thread Grinding C260 Brass?
Achievable tolerances for C260 Brass grinding depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Grinding routinely holds single-micron tolerances on diameter, flatness and parallelism. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
