brass vs bronze for making a punch
What if any differences might I notice when making and more importantly
using a 1/4" punch made of C360 brass vs C932 bearing bronze? The brass will work harden, but I can only guess bearing material is not supposed to harden up under use. The punch would be just that- 1/4" x 4", tapered and knurled and used for driving out stuck pins. I figure it's easy enough to make and will be useful. |
