My advice would be to use carbide tools, preferably with a diamond coating. This is how the shops that machine a lot of graphite do it.
It cuts fairly easily, but is very abrasive, and will dull the cut edge quickly. The other important key is to be constantly feeding, if it dwells and rubs for even a few seconds, it will be toast.
If you like, I can point you to some companies that specialize in tools for this application.
Cheers!
