HI
Can anyone advise on machining copper. I am working on a boiler and I have trim some plates in the lathe, would I use the same shape of tool as for machining brass?
I also have to drill a large number of holes, what would be the best drill bit shape. Should I modify the drill bits as if I was drilling brass?
I obviously don't want to 'tear' or otherwise damage my prepared copper plates/barrel.
Thanks in advance.
