Re: Turning Brass on 7x16?

 

I turn brass all of the time on my mini lathe.
Use high-speed steel tool bits.
High-speed steel can be sharpened better than carbide tools.
This is a mini lathe, so cutting speed is not too critical.

I made a 5in brass cannon from 1.25" C360 brass on a big Southbend lathe at my local Markerspace and plan to try it again on my LMS 7x16. What tooling and speeds are recommended?
