Hi All-
I did some searches on this and didn't find much so I thought I'd ask. I've been practicing on steel and Stainless for the most part up till now. The other day, I turned a small container on the lathe out of 952 Bronze. I thought it would be fun to do a little practice cutting on it and found it to be a nightmare to cut. The graver just wanted to dive into the stuff or skip across the surface. Is there some trick to cutting it? Special geometry on the graver?
Thanks,
Phil
