Plate - look at the blue AISI... specs and chemical.

Plate to 1.5" more or less.

I did find a few outfits like that who were basically call for quote for
"1144esque" metals, but none were a little guy like me can just buy pieces.
Most were in China so I just assume container loads only. I'ld have to make
an awfully lot of parts to afford that at any price.

Stress-Proof is Awesome! stuff.

You fell less stress just working with it.





You workin' with rod or plate? I can't find it (and don't even know if

it's available) in plate or ground plate.

I never heard of it other than rod.
Plates would be better than sliced bread...
