    Really? I was going to use flood colonist like I do with aluminum. I saw a job shop machining brass once and they were using coolant.

    Machinery's Handbook says dry, as do many googled hits. It was what I was taught about 40 years ago, but things may have changed. Search on the site of the manufacturer of the cutters you will use and get their advice. .
