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.

I don't think it NEEDS to be cut shorter. do you? I just thought you
would band it on a skid. I figure about 25 lbs for the skid. My
freight guy is waiting for a call-back from FedEx freight, our favorite
carrier. OBTW, how do you know it's O-1?
I do not need to cut it for shipping, no.
It has written "Northern Illinois Steel O-1 tool steel" on the side.
The seller had no incentive to lie about it, as I bought all his 15
tons of steel for just $1k.

What finish is on the surfaces? Are 4 sides mill surfaces? In other
words, are four sides true and smooth?
Yes, all four sides look true and smooth to me. They have some storage
rust however.

I got our engineers (all three) together and discussed your O-1. It's a
good deal, about a third of what it would cost locally and payback would
take less than a year. The problem we see is the 3" dimension. Almost
all dies we would make would have a max thickness of 1-1/2" and with our
saw it would be tough to cut parts width-wise then machine or grind
flat. I hate to pass on it but if you ever decide to cut it into 12"
pieces let me know. Any other sizes of O-1 or D-2?
