If it's something to just get you out of trouble, most any steel will work. If you are looking for longer life then 4140 or 8620 or similar would give you good results. A bit more pricey but if you had some 17-4, 13-8, 455 or 465 stainless steel drops laying around they would work as well. |

| They are right. I just made lathe tool holders from KennaMetal prints (out of catalog stuff), 4140 prehardened to 30 rockwell C. |
