Silver steel and drill rod share every property but name and geography. Same stuff. I have a nice scrapyard. They keep the aluminum inside and charge $1.50 per pound. The steel is outside. In Michigan, so I'll get back with you on that in a month or so. :-). I have yet to take photos because my iPad takes poor resolution photos, and that coupled with how much my hands shake don't really provide a picture worth a thousand words. Maybe 10. |

Hi Rick, There are a couple of guys on this forum that use an Ipad to take pictures. I've got the bar to make the new slitting saw arbour and just need some time to turn the blade holder up. |

I have a third gen iPad and picture quality is very good provided there is enough light. Silver Steel is specifically BS1407 here in the UK and is supplied annealed. http://www.silver-steel.co.uk/aboutsilversteel.php Drill Rod in the US can be one of at least three or four different steels each with different hardening requirements, ie Air, Oil or Water hardening. |

It's either the poor light or my hands. I usually snap three or so pictures and pick the best one. Just always seem pixelated. My drill rod is O1, and annealed. I checked. Put a 1/2-40 thread on it last night. Learned a smooth surface is a good idea for threading. I'll try finding better lighting and try to send some pictures. |

Oh, fly cutter is done. The 1/2-40 thread was for another tool I'm messing with. |
