...hey guys, didn't get much help in class, so thought I would post here. I'm taking machining classes at night at the local tech school, and our stock room as all kinds of unknown crap scattered in it. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to identify mild/machine steel. I was using the magnetic base on my indicator, thinking that if the magnet would stick to it, that that was mild steel. However after doing this test on a piece, then starting to machine it, I found the piece was not mild steel after all. Any info appreciated...
