If I have to rough brass or even just do a heap of parts I violate a piece of sheetmetal into a curved shield that sits against the top of the toolholder and curls over the insert seat to force the chips downward, I think there's like two mangled ones behind my lathe but I can never find them when I need them so I always end up having to make a new one every time.
