brass is tricky, when in doubt go faster not slower though. id search for a surface speed guide chart to get specific. i go by feel and always go faster than slower. make sure your cutting edge is not too aggressive. dull your tool if need be. its better than having it get ****** into your part and snapping off. once you get it down it will cut great though.
