Also looking for a steel supplier for sizes 100 x 50 40mm and I think Mild steel with be fine.
I am sure someone will chime in if I am wrong and I guess a harder steel would be better but to be fair I have never hardened anything and the amount I use the lathe the tool holders will not be getting a massibe hammering.
I guess I could learn how to case harden as it might be useful but I get confused with casenite/cherry red and Oil for the correct procedure and use. lol
