Default What kind of steel is this (link fixed)

In article ,
says...
I'm embarassed.

I changed the file name to something with less numbers than
my camera spit out and forgot to update the link.

The correct file name is:

I was hoping the saw bodies would be something tougher than
mild steel.


I'm sure they are - probably an alloy or carbon steel with good
properties in the Rc40 to 50 range, i.e., tending more towards tough
than very hard. Think wrenches rather than edge tools.
