I wish to make extended 5/8" dia pins for my HF Hossfeld bench type bender. Simplest plan I have is getting 5/8" dia X 5.5" cold rolled round stock. Is there a process I should do to heat treat these 3 pins so they won't bend ? Would stainless be better? More complex I have a car axle about 1-1/8" dia and have a machinist friend that would style them to my desires.... but I don't need anything that fancy. Lastly, I could most likely come up with a 1" dia torsion bar and make them from that. . .any ideas? . . . Mt_charlie
