Have you ever needed to machine copper

One suggestion: don't anneal it until after you machine it, whatever
you do. You will pay for it in utter misery.
I was involved in machining 2000 cylindrical electrical connectors,
1-1/4" diameter and 3" long, once upon a time. The harder the copper
is, the better.
It machines really nice with PCD tooling. I used to size printing
cylinders right out of the copper plating bath, prior to engraving and
chrome plating. The biggest issue was birds nests.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
