We can control the bulit up edge by various methods . Increase the cutting speed and/or decrease the feed and/ or use flood coolant .

caustic soda [affil links] , potash and ammonia [on eBay or Amazon] among other chemicals will dissolve copper w/o attack to carbide tools. But remember there will be vapors, odors, chemical wastes and disposal concerns (specially with ammonia).
