What's it like to machine, and what shapes is it available in? I've seenit in plenty of old tools but didn't know it was still available.

Chris, it machines similar to brass. We used it on the ships for fittings exposed to saltwater like studs and nuts to hold zinc bars in place for galvanic corrosion protection. Search for Cupronickel or copper-nickel. Here is a source I found: https://www.farmerscopper.com/copper-nickel.html
