@OldCarbDoctor While it may seem like a pain in the butt, check out some videos on HSS (High Speed Steel) tool grinding. All you need is a standard 6” bench grinder. Even if you use your carbide tool what you can learn from the experience will be helpful. Check out “This Old Tony” has a really approachable video on the subject which you may enjoy! I’m envious of all the cool things you will be discovering on your machining adventure. You are in a great spot here for help. I have learned much.
I have turned a carb needle and low cutting pressure is important. A sharp tool with a small radius helps minimize deflection. Brass isn’t easy to cut sometimes because it is “grabby”. Keep working at it, ask questions and you will succeed.
we are almost neighbors! I’m near exit 53a on I40.
