Brass Casting

Hi there I'm new here, has anyone melted down brass into a workpiece and milled or turned it on a lathe and what was the machinability and finished product like?

Hi Jaden,

Welcome!

Great question - you'll likely garner more responses to your brass casting and machining inquiry if you post it in the General Tool Talk subforum. What sort of brass project are you contemplating?

When you're ready to share some of your own homemade tools, we'd love to see them. Please post them directly in the Homemade Tools subforum. We'll add each one to the database, as well as to your builder page on the site.

Non-tool items should be shared in the Not a Tool, but Homemade subforum.
