I purchased a piece of steel that I am assuming was 1018 from TSC. I know I paid way to much and I suspect the steel quality isn't very good. So I am looking to get some more steel but I don't know what kinds to get etc.
I have no specific applications in mind, just want some steel around to turn if and when I need it. I would rather pay more for decent steel than less for lower quality steel.
I have read on here that 12L14 seems to be a favorite. Is it a good general steel to have around considering the price?
Also will be purchasing some stainless steel for a specific application. For my application, the type of metal doesn't matter. The stainless is only for looks. 303? or something else.
Any all input appreciated
