Don't Fear the Stainless

     Using free machining T-303 SS is a great way to incorporate the corrosion resistant qualities and good looks of stainless steel without beating up your mills and drills. The addition of sulfur is responsible for the improved machining and galling characteristics of T-303 SS. Though it lowers its corrosion resistance to slightly below that of  T-304. Basically, think of T-303 as a "stress proof" grade material, with a slim chance that you will accidentally work harden the piece. Its a great choice for those little projects, on your project, leave the machined look or break out the files and polish that mother!

T-303 Blade Holders. Great material to work with.
