Default Dija know? Tool steels

Dija know..that when you put that big chunk of steel that you thought
was 303 in the mill and put your very very best save for this project
3" face mill in the spindle and start the cut and turn on the
powerfeed and its cutting so good that you go and do something
else..and about 2" into the cut the piece of steel you thought was 303
was actually A-2 melts down your special saved for this project
shaving sharp beautiful 3" face mill into a glob of schmutz?

It really does.

Damnit.

Sometimes having Mystery Metal on hand...is not a good thing...

You have to look on the bright side, Gunner. Even If you had been
standing there watching, the cutter would still be FUBAR, except you
might be under some misconception that you might have been able to do
something about it, and feeling worse.
