May I recommend a copy of the Machinery's Handbook to you.Hi Richard,
I Second that request as well.
Great idea
I use only 1144 for rounds square bar stock and 12L14 for hex.Greetings all,
I am looking at placing an order for materials for my personal inventory.
The supplier I am looking at using has a huge variety of steel to choose from.
1137, 11L37, 12L14, 1215, 11L41, 1144
I know their are people here with years of experience, so /I'm looking for advice.
My intension for all these metals are for the general purpose of mill work and lathe word for making small engine projects, and others.
I know many many people us the 12L14 because of its lead content and super easy of machining.
But, should I have other types on hand if I want to make add ons to the lathe and mill? or when shafts are needed? or for pistons? etc,etc
i.e. tooling for the lathe and mill (modified tap and die holders,)
Im willing to do one big purchase to get me started.
My framer once told me, better to be looking at it than looking for it.
Thanks in advance
KJ
