pkrankow Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'm just confused now. but is it fatty? I think this thread need bacon. Everything is better with bacon. I don't see anything in this thread against using new material, just a preference for recycling, presumably for cost advantage. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Miller Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well if you read post #20 he recounts his options nowhere does he mention the option of using new steel. Furthermore he says he says he wants to over engineer it. So why not use a steel like H13 or S7. Mild steel is a bad choice I would say 1045 is poor 4140 is ok 5160 is better but if you really want a high performance tool use a hot work steel.
