1018 HRS, that is your problem!

Can you expand upon that? What do you suggest?

The lower carbon steels all cut and thread poorly. Higher carbon, to a
point, will cut cleaner, too high and it gets hard on tooling. Most CRS cuts
better than HRS. Best yet is leaded steel. The stuff cuts and threads like
butter, compared to plain 1018 HRS. Then again, choice of material depends
on the application.
