Steve, the steel is good ol' mystery metal from the scrappers, hot roll processed. Not the nicest finish, but workable.
Pix, I haven't tried it yet, but you have to have one to try it, so it made the list. Actually, I don't know how useful it will be, since the lathe isn't made to stop at a shoulder. I'm more likely to do SAE threads anyway, so I'll need to make a threading dial so I can drop off the half-nuts.
