You will find the tool acts a bit different in bronze than it does in aluminum. The aluminum doesn't suck a tool in, and you have to work at it to get tool chatter.
Bronze loves to eat tools by "hogging in" and I'm not sure why it makes an otherwise perfectly good tool chatter. The most curious thing is that sometimes it does it, most times it won't and you don't get to choose.
I'm hoping for you that it just goes according to plan. Bronze can be expensive as hell. What are you using, a 660 bronze or Oiliite sintered bronze?
