Dovetail Milling-Machine Vises. Designed to hold your part on 4- and 5-axis milling machines, these vises provide rigid clamping while exposing five full sides of the workpiece. This allows even complex parts to be completed in a single operation. You must cut a dovetail into your material before the vise can grip it.

End milling - An end mill makes either peripheral or slot cuts, determined by the step-over distance, across the workpiece in order to machine a specified feature, such as a profile, slot, pocket, or even a complex surface contour.The depth of the feature may be machined in a single pass or may be reached by machining at a smaller axial depth of cut and making multiple passes.

Cut a range of thread sizes with a single tool. These thread mills can also produce both right-hand and left-hand threads. All are made of solid carbide with an aluminum-titanium-nitride (AlTiN) coating, so they have high strength and excellent wear resistance, even when cutting hard and abrasive material. Use them in a CNC machine that allows helical interpolation.

Like Mickey D says, copper can be a royal pain to deal with. We used to run a lot of 1 1/4" round bar in the CNC lathe at work. Problem with copper is that it is SOOO malleable. It flows nearly as much as it cuts. You could make a threading pass and sometimes it would actually INCREASE the outer diameter, as the metal flowed around the tool.
