Been asked to machine up a part out of p20t steel. Got the drawing from the guy who wants the part. No problem thinks i, pop out to the steel stockists buy the steel and start machining. I have machined p20 before and know what its like. Anyway the stockist didn't want to know, they have stopped selling small amounts of steels (they were happy to sell it during the recession), didn't have any in stock anyway.
Went to another place i know and they said they had none either, but had scraps i was welcome to look through. Went into the warehouse and the storekeeper showed me the "p20".
Went to use the steel i bought today, first by filing off the burrs on the edges, and it became apparent that it was plain old mild steel, so not happy.
So does anyone have a piece of p20 toolsteel in the "T" condition ? Approx 200mm long by 30mm thick by 75mm deep ?
