I've got a piece of mystery steel about 2' x 6' x .78". It was given to me by a friend when he was moving. I have a couple projects for it that are going to require machining. What would be the best guess for the alloy to machine conservatively but without killing cutters? A36? 1018? Do a spark test... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_testing A bunch of videos are here...
