Hello:
I'm looking to do some machining (reducing the outside diameter) on some sintered bronze bushings to be used for bearings.
It's going to be light cuts, as the parts are small (10 mm diameter) and I can't clamp them, but will be holding them on a steel shaft made for the occasion, with a bolt through the bushing hole fixing it.
My question is: what geometry of the tool (HSS)? I've not been able to find references for sintered bronze. A bit of "trial and error" is possible, but it would be nice to start approximately right. My own guess is neutral rake like for brass, but…….
Thanks,
Benta.
