MATERIAL · STAINLESS STEEL TURNING

Stainless, on the lathe.

Stainless is roughly half of what we turn. Free-machining 303 for production runs. 304 and 316 for sanitary and marine. 17-4 PH when strength matters. We feed and speed for the alloy — not the chart.

01 / Alloys we cut

Stocked & dialed-in.

303

Free-machining production. Pump shafts, fittings, fasteners.

304

Sanitary and food-grade. Brewery, distillery, processing.

316

Marine and chemical. Salt-resistant, more corrosion immunity than 304.

17-4 PH

High-strength shafts, valve internals. Heat-treatable.

400 series

Cutlery-grade, knife blanks, harden-and-temper parts.

02 / Notes from the floor
