If your h'ware store (you're in US, right?) is anything like ours in
Oz, the "steel" they sell is OK for fence pickets & the like, but
lousy to machine. Rough, black surface, & tears badly in the lathe.
Yes, but he wants them for axles, not for machine stock.
Perhaps the OP will tell us if it is to be machined...
Does OP mean Original Poster ?
If so that would be me, and the answer is no. Just for direct use as axles
