[50mhz] cushcraft question

[JV]

    Grade 410 is magnetizing. This grade machines and grinds very well. The
300 series, especially 304 is a bear. Also the 300 series work hardens.

It may well be that the Cushcraft stainless steel is of a different
composition 
than what we're used to. There's 3 or 4 versions, it depends on the amount 
of nickel and chromium in the mixture. There is one version of stainless, I 
think 304, that is still magnetizing, that is you bring a magnet up to to
and 
it's attracted to it. I think there's also a 306, a 307, and a 312.
