I talked to a buddy of mine that works at a shop that restores early American cars. (Think Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg)
He uses a mill with a mandrel, 3/8" hard felt, and lapping compound.
1/3 overlap is typical.
He said Cratex and WD-40 would work good too.
It takes him 2 days to do a Duesey dash... The shop works a 4-10...so that's 20 hours!
Duesey dashes are pretty cool, they are engine turned brass but are coated with a black tinted lacquer. When looking into the car they appear almost black...but if the sun hits them you see the brass turning reflected through.
