I purchased a harbor freight 20 ton press to work on my cars and after I finished I was playing with my son by crushing things. We had fun ha ha ha
I put a wood screw and while it did flatten the head of the screw, it left a deep imprint of the screw in the press pin. Yeah....
At first I was thinking of just using my tig welder to fill the imprint but then thought of using a 1.5" 304 stainless rod I have laying around.
Would a 304 stainless steel rod be a bad idea to use on a 20 ton press as the pin?
I'm not to familiar with different metals. I know soft metals like the current pin bend and dent but can the stainless rod handle the pressure without issues?
