What are you wanting to do with nickel silver?

 

[Bruce Bump]

I dont see it much different than anything else to work. Sometimes it grabs drill bits so just go slow and cool. I still like the stuff although some collectors opted for 416 stainless instead. On some of the classics nickel silver is the only thing that looks right to me.

I was wondering about soldering drilling and filing/sanding property's

Its very easy to work and will sand to a high polish. It is tougher than brass but softer than 416 stainless. It works so well that I do most work with hand tools. You can file to shape and sand pretty easy and drilling is also easy. I takes solder really well and I dont bother to tin when I solder which I alway do with SS.
