Ground Flat 3/4" X 3/4" X 18" (2) 01. And 1/2" 20 Threaded Rod

[Dracen knights]

Ok so I'm hoping one of you knows where to find the last few pieces of my mill upgrades. I need two pieces of 01 tool steel that are 3/4" square and somewhere around 18" long.... this is going to be the new y ways for my mill..... then I'm needing to find a good quality 1/2" threaded rod (allthread) with 20tpi... now I know theres a lot of places to get the allthread I'm just hoping to get them at the same time to save on shipping but if not the main item is the ways....

Maybe one of you have a surface grinder that's big enough to do the two pieces at once. Cheapest I have found for the ways is $132 each plus shipping so if you know of anything or can offer the service please let me know either post here or message me.

Thanks for all the help

Well looks like fat fingers hit again the title should say 18" long not 19.... so if anyone can fix that please do... thank you.

Well looks like i should have measured first it turns out its 3/4" square stock not one inch and theones at spedy metal are not ground flat so they will not work the tolerances are way to out.

But looks like this project is on hold. I just got a cnc knee mill....

Missed the part where you were looking for "ground". When you get back to it check out McMasters for the "precision ground" tool steel http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-steel-sheets/=wpok94
