I did not see any D-2, but I have a big block of O-1.


What are the measurements and weight?


6x3x44, appx 223 lbs


How many brushes of what kind do you want for it?

Special rec.crafts.metalworking price is $1/lb. ATM I have a lot of
brushes, we mostly use 4 and 6 inch cup brushes.

Let me see what freight would be, can and will you cut it?


Should be about $148 to ship to location with forklift.

Or free pick-up from me.

I am not sure if I can cut O-1, I have a 12 inch bandsaw.

Sure! It cuts like CR when soft. D-2 cuts OK too when soft. The O-1 I
heat-treat in house but the D-2 has to be sent out.

Did you once say you think you had some D-2 round? I need 8-1/4" or so
round to make 1" thick blades with a 4" bore...I used to get hollow bar
but not too many centers can get it anymore.
