Default Best Bet for Mystery Steel

I will drill, spark, hack and if its hard I'll cut it like tool
steel, and if its soft I'll cut it like hot rolled.


Recip saw blades are cheap enough to waste, though their speed in FPM
is hard to determine and relate to a bandsaw. I leave my bandsaw on
the tool steel speed which is the least damaging if I forget to change
it on a quick job.
