You are right. the high low thing.
No, I'm not too bothered about making a mega shock rods out of stainless.
Whats important is being able to machine these things without busting my cheap taps.
I know very little about the various grades of stainless or the various grades of anything else for that matter.
All I know is, is that I can get a bunch of very shiny straight machinable rods for just a few quid. If I can harden these things to make them less scratch prone, then all the better.
