I have to make electrodes for a EDM machine from copper. I will be turning these on a CNC lathe. What is the best insert to use. This has to be finished with a .0078 radius tool nose.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Im using Mitsubishi Carbide. Anything for aluminum would work. Something with a polished surface will give you a cleaner looking part.
I'm currently turning Copper Alloy 110 with:
DNMG - MIT259750 - ROUGHER
VNGG - MIT209621 - FINISHER
