I have some material that is driving me nuts.
I thought it was 1144 for but it doesn't machine that nicely. What bugs me most is that the chips are very small and act as if they are magnetic. They stick to the stock in the lathe and the HSS tools. Drives me nuts.
Is this inherent to the material or is there something I can do to stop this?
