Chuckle! Having spent the vast majority of my years in the shop doing small work, I would be at a loss to understand how it would get distorted. I could clamp and drill a .010" thick dead soft copper disc without harming it in the least. When you do small work, you work and think differently.

Steel; I used drill rod just just because I had it. cs

differently.
Heh! To each, his own. I would be just as lost working on a 40 ton item, in spite of being in the shop since 1957. Don't like large work. Never have!

A bit tougher to machine cleanly than some others, I would suggest getting some 12L14 -- probably the nicest machining steel around, if you don't need it to be hardenable.
Enjoy, DoN.
I agree! My basic rule is I don't like to work on it if I can't pick it up by myself. ...controlling a crane by myself doesn't count either! :-)
