Not any kind of special deal, but got some stock in yesterday.
I had to order a foot (minimum buy) of Ø 1-1/2" 316 stainless steel for a part I need to make for my friend Neil. I also needed a couple inches worth of Ø 1" pre heat treated 4140 (38-42Rc), so I found a seller with turned ground and polished. I bought a 12" length of that too. While on their website I clicked on "clearance specials" and they had some bars of 3/4" 4140HT, flame cut in strips of about 7/8" wide x 12" long for $2.99 each. I picked up 4 of them. No job for them but they would have been nice for the gun sight parts I had recently make for David.
When I have an hour to kill I'll throw them in the mill and use one of my Walter F4080 45º face milling cutters to get under the flame cut surface and have them ready for when I do need one.
