    Yeah, I'm suprised Possum hasn't posted in this thread, this is right up his alley.

      I've used O1 steel for blades for a while. I thought it sounded fine.

      I had heard that some pole screws also had lead in them, like one of the 12L* steels.

        Many do use 12L14, and its a great sounding alloy. Most screw makers will use 1215 which is also a great sounding alloy. They are all part of a class of quick machining steels.

          The lead is in those steel alloys to act as a lubricant for any machining processes, just like there's lead in free machining brass.

            Are The 12L14, & 15 Alloy parts available. Or are these parts a guy has to make?

                  A necro-thread indeed.

                  1010 steel -- AddictionFX has or at least used to have the bucker screws in 1010 but suddenly he won't respond. When I try to buy through Ebay it says "seller does not want your bids or offers". Tried emailing him, he has no phone number, no response.

                  Anyone know what's going on?

                    You're using addiction-fx@hotmail.com?

                    I JUST got an order in the mail this week although there has been varying delays in communication.
