Saw a post of someone finding some SS and was asking about if it was a good material to make tool holders.
Is there a listing available on here that would help out?
Kind of like one video I was watching he suggested using water hardening drill rod to make a collet pin stop.
When are A2 and other tool steels needed to be used? This is the type of list/thread I'm looking for. Not only for myself but I'm sure others that don't have the machining experience that some of you do. Maybe a list of the names of the different types of materials.
I know this is a very broad question. Maybe someone could refine it or break it down into categories.
If this list doesn't exist, I have another question. This would be for Nelson. Does the forum software have a provision for a member editable Wiki? Such as this one that I've been active in.

Any member can add material or edit others work. When we write up something we know it can and will be edited.
Nelson. If you don't like the link, feel free to remove it and other comments made towards it.
