Chip evacuation will be your biggest problem, followed by peventing a built up edge on the cutter. Use fluid with as much lubricity as possible. Copper conducts heat well so heat will be less of a problem. Keep your tooling dead sharp and use rigid setups because the stuff grabs. always climb mill to keep chips from sticking to the part.
