I have some thin (maybe a 1/16th, about the thickness of a license plate.) I've seen some pens turned with aluminum in them and would like to try this. Will carbide tools cut the material?
Thanks,
Ray

Yes so will standard steel tools. I finish turn many times with my skew. 1/16" is not thin in pen turning world. 1/32" is thin.I have some thin (maybe a 1/16th, about the thickness of a license plate.)

Look forward to seeing what you can do. good luckThe material I have is 0.075-inches thick (14-gauge?) or 3/40ths.
