Thanks Tom. I'm not sure what type of steel it is. I thought at first it might be 12L14 but it's been sitting in my basement for years and had no rust on it so I'm questioning that since leaded steel will rust if you look at it the wrong way. I've been using carbide insert tooling to bore and turn it and when I do the final cut I set the autofeed for the finest cut. That makes a big difference in the finish.
