I occasionally happen across bits of railroad track and mounting plates. Is any of this stuff machinable? http://home.att.net/~galt_57/railroad.jpg Yes, I've had good luck machining railroad steel, everything I've tried. Welds OK too. I have not tried track but lots of guys mill the top off of a bit of track to get something to pound on. By the way, like many other things the company that sells things to the railroads has an online catalog. Handy to look up track data: http://www.akrailroad.com/table_contents.asp GWE |
