I had the pleasure of replacing a couple of machine tools a few years ago. Those two machines were contaminated with Be. Once that happens, you can't even give them away. Respirators are fine but the problem is that Be dust can be dislodged with an air gun long after the machining is done.

It's not just the toxic gas but the dust can get you, too. If you don't have experience with this material, speeds and feeds are the least of your worries. I would advise you to read up on berylliosis...not very common, but very serious!
