    Default brass?

    I have seen a small project that I would like to cut brass parts for. simple pieces, thin stock, minimal machining (countersunk holes). I have never cut metal, what should I be looking out for?

    thanks,

    BT

    Feeds and speeds. That's the only difference I see between metal, wood and plastic. Feeds and speeds.
