This article will cover the best tips to use for cutting brass on cnc lathe that I have invented in my years of experience. It is not a guide that you can read and then expect to get good results. It takes time, practice and experience to learn these tricks. If you are new to machining, then start by learning the basics first, then move onto more advanced topics
The first thing that you need to do when cutting brass is to make sure that your tooling is setup correctly. This means that the tooling has been properly adjusted at each of its points and it is ready for use. You will also need a good quality cutting fluid which will help prevent chatter, which can often cause problems when using many different types of materials such as brass
If you want to cut brass on CNC Lathe then you should consider using a carbide tipped tooling bit with a maximum cutting depth of 0.064". This should be fine unless you are going for a very fine finish or if you are using very small cuts such as those made by engraving tools.
