Picked up this 180mm (6") ring of what I thought was brass at a local steam fair, it was pretty grubby. Anyway it doesn't cut very freely and produces short swirls of swarf when cut. In fact it grabs the tool very easily and makes it blunt in no time but this could be the way I have ground the profiles on my tools, to be honest I don't think I can work this material at all with my current level of experience.
