big nasty Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I bought this 1/4 square stainless at a scrap metal yard on Friday. Did a few warm up's cut a piece 6'' I have never tried square stainless before so I did'nt know what to expect. I went threw it pretty quick crushed it down to 1'' also I tried to bend on the flat side but it bent on the edge am I jazzed for nothing ?

vikingsrule92 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If it was that easy it was probably 304, not as hard as FBBC's Stainless Square but it's hard to say. Still a damn good bend, probably a little easier than a FBBC 6" Square if it's 304, if 304 then it's between a 6" Square and a Huge Bastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 The 6" ss sq I bent was harder than a bastard by a little bit. Square stock twists as it bends. I've started a number of pieces on the flat side and as they go through the sweep they twist onto the edge. Some all the way and some have a minor slant.

big nasty Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) Thank's Derek and Zach I am still pretty new at this just exploring different steel. I like stainless it feel's good to bend to me for some reason. I think maybe it is the spring in it. I am also looking for stuff in between the Huge and the Grand.

matthcarl Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I don't know, I tried some stainless square from FBBC today and din't think it was that tough. If you got the huge bastard that easily, I don't think 6" 303 stainless would be much of a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got the huge bastard that easily, I don't think 6" 303 stainless would be much of a problem. Theres a world of difference betwween a huge bastard and a huge shiny bastard the lists also reflect that dont underestimate the cutdown shinys much tougher than the 1/4inch square stainless.

I think he was talking about the 1/4" Square gazza, at least I'd hope he was because you're definitely right about Shinys and bastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
