Brass C360 and Copper
Free-machining brass C360 and copper for detail parts, bushings and fittings where weight, colour and a clean cut edge all matter.
Why Choose This Material
Brass cuts cleanly enough to hold fine detail, carries weight in the hand, and ages into a finish buyers actually want.
- Free-machining, so fine knurls and threads come out crisp
- Adds deliberate weight to small carried parts
- Natural colour needs no coating to look finished
- Copper available where conductivity or appearance calls for it
What To Watch For
- Heavier than aluminum — intentional on an EDC part, a problem on a long hilt
- Bare brass patinas over time; specify a finish if you want it to stay bright
- Softer than steel, so avoid it for threads that will be cycled constantly
Every point above is a design decision, not a warning. Raise it while the drawing is still open and it costs nothing to solve.

Brass C360 and Copper Questions
Do you machine brass?
Yes. Brass is one of the materials GRACTS specialises in, alongside aluminum, stainless steel and carbon steel.
Will bare brass tarnish?
