Anyone know where I can get some 440C rod? Thinking about turning some custom pivots.

If I can't find any, I'm going to use some D2, but I'd prefer the rust resistance of 440C.

Any leads would be really appreciated. Thanks! :thumbup:
 
I get it from MSC

www.mscdirect.com

It is about as nasty to machine as D2. Perhaps worse. Got a tool post grinder attachment for yer lathe? Regular cutting tools have never given me a very good finish on the stuff...
