What is a good stainless steel for bolster material? I'm looking for something easy to work down with a file if I need to.

About the eaisest SS to use is 416. It is not as corrosion proof as others, but doesn't take near the effort to finish and poslish that the 300 series stainless reqires.

Thanks for your help. Do you happen to know where I can get a tapered reamer?
