Most machinable brasses will have lead in them.
I hope you're not in California.


You guys presume WAY too much, and are being didactic while not helping.

I have a contract which clearly spells out using freely-machinable brass
for the perf-plate. The customer has already spoken on the issue of
lead. HE specified brass, waived the lead content issue, and I have it
in writing.

So, why would you tell me not to do it? _I_ am not making food with
leaded brass -- I am building a machine to the customer's specs, and have
made sure he's educated on it. There's no more I need to do.

I cannot predict what he'll do with the device or even if "pasta" is what
he's extruding. HE called it a "pasta extruder", and after suitable
warnings, that's where my responsibility ends.
