I bought some phosphor bronze rod the other day to make some tiny bearing bushes for the engine I am building - it is quite copper coloured, and different from what I have used before which might be aluminium bronze. I am drilling to 3mm and reaming to 1/8" with a D type reamer. Both are jamming. I had to use a blowtorch to get the drill out. I have no problem with brass or ally bronze, but this stuff is tricky. Any ideas on lube, modding the drill, etc ?
