Hi petersenj20
Yes, but you need to have a speed control on your router or speed control device.
You will need to turn it all the way down and make a SMALL pass (thin) , I don't recommend to do it on brass but it will work on Alum.but you will need to clean the bit ( remove the ALum.from the bit) (Alum. GULL build up)
BUT don't use your high end bits, use your cheap bits.
