Nope, just pulled it out of the box.  I guess 3500 km of road rattles off some of the dust

Very nice find.  BTW, to make it official

Thanks Stan - This was no find on my part but a generous offer of sale from Pete O.  He could have got a lot more money by putting it on eBay or Gumtree but he offered it to me instead.  Thanks Pete

I rescued this from the dumpster at work; three sheets of .038" 304 stainless with about 14"x18" of usable metal. I'm sure to find a use for it somewhere...

Got this at an auction. Can't see much of the metal. The bins near the top are empty, which was actually good 'cuze the ones at the bottom were really overstuffed and had to be split up among the empty ones. Turns out most of the steel was tool steel, some marked D-2, some not. There were a number of rounds in there, 2" dia, 5.250" long. Some were still in packages that were marked. SF-2050. I had never heard of it before and it took awhile to find a datasheet on it. I finally did and here's what it says about it:

Quote:SF-2050
®
is a new prehardened mould
steel grade specially designed for through
hardenability, ease of machining and simple
post-production mould maintenance. It has
high impact strength and excellent temper
resistance. The well-balanced chemistry assures
homogeneous hardness and near no section
hardness loss due to mass.

The hardness range is: Super Hard BHN: 355-390; HRC: 38-42; N/mm squared: 1202-1322.



The shelving unit came with it, I really didn't want it and some guy picking up his stuff offered me $50 for it. It's his now!

almost forgot, there was also a box of springs of all sizes - including the right size to replace the broken ones in my shop press!

Nice score! That D2 is tough stuff. Some knifemakers like it.

Yes D2 is very gummy even after hardening and it loads grinding wheels very quickly.

Had to go and get it. My buddy found us 2 red wagons, so we'd have one each and wouldn't fight over who got to play with them.
Will be great for hauling logs with the tractor.
