Using a brazed carbide tipped tool. Cannot say I like them but at least it is good enough to test it with.
Exactly - use what you have to get going is one of my mottos. :)? I've been using HSS tools and I think they work better with light cuts compared to the carbide tools I have. I bought some 'pre-ground' tools (from India) and they are OK, but it was pretty easy- and a lot cheaper- to just grind my own, using square blanks I got from China. Luckily I have a white aluminum oxide wheel in the grinder which seems to cut HSS well.
