Brass CNC Machining Shops — Precision Brass Components
Brass alloys (C360, C260) machine freely and produce excellent surface finishes, making them ideal for fittings, valves, and decorative hardware that require tight tolerances and a polished appearance. CNC shops machine brass for plumbing, electronics, and industrial instrumentation where corrosion resistance and conductivity matter.
Typical Uses
- Plumbing fittings and valves
- Electrical connectors and terminals
- Precision instrument parts
- Lock cylinders and hardware

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do CNC shops use for brass machining?
Brass alloys (C360, C260) machine freely and produce excellent surface finishes, making them ideal for fittings, valves, and decorative hardware that require tight tolerances and a polished appearance. CNC shops machine brass for plumbing, electronics, and industrial instrumentation where corrosion resistance and conductivity matter. Typical applications include: Plumbing fittings and valves, Electrical connectors and terminals, Precision instrument parts, Lock cylinders and hardware.
How do I choose a CNC shop for brass parts?
Look for shops with documented experience machining brass, relevant certifications (ISO 9001, AS9100 for aerospace), and in-house inspection capability. Request sample or first-article inspection reports before committing to production volumes.
What tolerances can CNC shops hold on brass parts?
Most precision CNC shops can hold ±0.001″ (±0.025 mm) tolerances on brass parts as standard. Tighter tolerances down to ±0.0002″ are achievable with specialized equipment and process controls. Confirm tolerance requirements upfront in your RFQ.
