Rob,
The brass chipping off will happen but I'm usually reluctant to recommend a steel drift to someone that has not done this work before. Its best to dress the drift to fit the race and to back the hub up with something solid like a piece of flat steel. Once the hub is inspected for fully seated bearing cups, the hub can then be rinsed out with hot water. After de-greasing, using hot water will allow for fast evaporation and will leave the hub clean and dry. For the newbie it may be a good investment to just purchase the bearing cup tool set to be set for life. There are many ways to do this where I'm leaning toward no risk in marring the hub.

Another tool that works is a 3/8th's extension. Just keep going around in a circle moving the tool just a little bit each time when you hit it.

Oh well, another tool set to buy, I see Amazon has that one.
I'd gotten a set that has 1.565", 1.750", 1.965", 2.325", 2.470", 2.555", 2.830", 2.995", 3.180" drivers, but found for the smaller race the 2.325" driver was too small and 2.470" was too large.
For the larger race the 3.180" (~80.77mm) driver was just right.
Looking at my smaller race a 2.35" or 59mm driver would be a good fit.- Gene

That sounded like the "three bears story"
If you just had a lathe you could make what you want.
