Fly press screw .steel type?

[brian]

I have here an extract from Maneklal and Sons website

" FEATURES FOR 'P' SERIES SINGLE AND DOUBLE SIDED FLY PRESS .
Top end of screw with hexagonal tapered reception for the wheel to ensure no slip
Mild Steel screw with heavy duty square angular thread"

Would anyone be able to tell me what steel is used in their fly press screw or are they all mild steel?

Flypress screws are made from impact resistant steels usually rich in Nickel. In Europe the steel used would probably be EN24. The steel is probably not far removed from L6.

hand fly press single sided and double sided and arbour press - Maneklal and Sons (Exports)

the way I read it the P series all have mild steel, and thats everything on that page except the arbours.

Id email them to confirm exactly what they mean or if there is a surface hardening ect
