It certainly behaved like it was when I bought some 1/4" a couple of years ago. Edited By Bill Phinn on 01/05/2023 13:57:09

859 forum posts 268 photos	Perfect,I'll try M-machine, could only see 1 1/8" on their Ebay store but will give them a call tomorrow. I was after metric. EKP is also a good shout have used them for other stuff before. If I get stuck I'll send Mrs Diogenes's brother to Kings Lynn. Baz, I've got Silver Steel, just didn't want to use it for this application where appearance / ease of machining matters more than toughness. Thanks all. Edited By DiogenesII on 01/05/2023 15:46:41
