How fast would you turn it, or in a lathe the work piece?

What lubricant / coolant would you use?

I didn't start using reamers at a young enough age to know by direct
knowledge; I've been told "reamers like to cut", and I've always given
them plenty of meat (5 to 15 thou) to go through -- and I've almost
always had good success. About the only problems I've had have been
traceable to poor work holding leading to bell-mouthing.
