Notes:
The final cost analysis shows the body is 15% cheaper to manufacture in brass than aluminium, because of the savings demonstrated above, which offset the higher raw material cost.
There being no need for surface finishing, the requirement for the components to go outside the company is eliminated, thus enabling the company to control their manufacture at all times and operate a JIT system. A further benefit to the company and their customers.
Furthermore because no expensive tooling (moulds or dies) with long deliveries is required, machined brass components are therefore ideal for medium batch runs and the manufacture of specials required at short notice.
