Nice of John to beat me to it, I was going to say something along the lines of, "is that carbide insert going to hold up against brass?"Brass likes sharp edged tools with no back rake, and perhaps a small nose radius, inserts are mostly not very sharp, not a good choice for brass, HSS is the answer.
Brass is special in that it likes a flat-topped tool and a near 90 degree edge.
