Custom brass machining — precision CNC brass parts

Connectors, fluids, bushes and precision parts: brass machining by CNC turning and milling. Online quote, excellent machinability.

Brass

Machined brass: precision, contact and machinability

Machined brass is chosen for fine-tolerance technical parts, fittings, bushes and connectors where machinability shortens cycle time.

CNC turning delivers clean threads, precise bores and fine finishes for small to medium series.

Lusinage manufactures brass parts from drawing or STEP with alloy advice (CuZn39Pb3 and equivalents) and fluid or electrical contact compatibility.

Material benefits

Benefits of brass in machining

Outstanding machinability

Short cycles, ideal for precision parts and repetitive batches.

Moderate wear resistance

Suited to bushes, slides and light-friction parts.

Appearance and contact

Fine finish for connectors, technical fasteners and visible parts.

Fine detail machining

Holes, taps and micro-geometries favoured on turn-mill parts.

Examples

Typical machined brass parts

Brass bush, bearing and friction part Fluid fitting, nipple and connector Connector and contact part Custom brass screw, nut and insert Miniature valve body or manifold Turned precision spacer Watchmaking or instrumentation component Connector prototype before series Obsolete brass spare part

Processes

CNC processes for brass

CNC milling

Prismatic parts, pockets and holes in brass: dimensional accuracy and finishes suited to industrial integration.

CNC turning

Shafts, bushes, flanges and rotational parts in brass with controlled concentricity for transmission and fastening.

EDM

Internal shapes, cavities and challenging geometries in brass when conventional tooling reaches its limits.

3D printing

Rapid prototyping before CNC machining in brass or form validation; transition to machined series after mechanical sign-off.

Sectors

Sectors using machined brass

Connectors and electronics

Contacts, connector bodies and interface parts.

Fluids and pneumatics

Fittings, manifolds and low-pressure components.

Instrumentation

Measurement, adjustment and fine assembly parts.

Watchmaking and technical luxury

Precision components and fine finishes.

Industrial maintenance

Non-catalogue bush and fitting remanufacturing.

Comparison

Brass vs bronze and stainless

Brass for machinability and cost; bronze for friction; stainless for severe corrosion.

Material Strength Machinability Corrosion Material cost Typical uses
Aluminium Good (5xxx / 6xxx / 7xxx alloys) Excellent Good (anodising possible) Moderate Structures, housings, aerospace and automation parts
Steel Very high (C45, 42CrMo4…) Good Low without treatment Moderate to low Transmission, tooling, heavily loaded parts
Stainless steel High (304L, 316L…) Fair (work hardening) Excellent Higher Food, pharma, marine, chemical
Brass Fair Excellent Good Moderate Connectors, fluids, bushes, precision parts
Engineering plastics Grade-dependent Good (adapted speeds) Excellent (chemical) Moderate Guides, insulators, prototypes, short runs

Frequently asked questions

Brass machining: FAQ

Free-machining and common binary brass (e.g. CuZn39Pb3) per drawing; state lead and norm constraints.

Often stainless for direct contact; brass for technical fittings per regulation — validated case by case.

Turning for rotational parts; milling for faces and multi-axis holes.

Brass more machinable; bronze better for some bearings — we advise by friction and load.

Fine machined surfaces; specific polishing to state on quote.

Yes. Economic interest on medium volumes thanks to cycle time.

Metric or special threads per drawing.

State range or prototype; scalable quote for series.

Fine indoors; stainless recommended in marine or chlorinated environments.

Often short for simple turned parts; confirmed on quote.
