Sorry about the crashing but we changed the settings to avoid so much spam. Once registered you will not have a problem.

There has been much to-ing and fro-ing in my mind and I am tempted to lean towards the martensitic 400 grades for the sake of having it magnetic. A little rust resistance is better than none.

I have never had a problem with 303/304 stainless in the past and the recent 304 bar forms – supposedly – that I bought were in fact cropped from a sheet by some cretin. It is a total nightmare to work with. Never ever experienced such trouble before. I have no doubt the 304Ugima would do well but I feel that the time has come to move on.

Hopefully I will not crash and burn this time.
304 stainless steel can be sourced in a variation called 304Ugima this varient is easier to machine and will not wear your cutting tools so fast.
But you probably know all of this and will have a good reason as to why you are not using it ! Go on then let’s hear it ???
Best wishes,
Neil.
