Guys I can't remember if I ask this question before I went back few pages and did not find this question.Anyway its hot as heck where I live so planning few project for this fall when its little cooler.
Chuck Key:Guys I need to make couple different size chuck keys which I do plan on heat treating maybe just the square ends so that they will last.But I would also like to blacken them heating up and quenching in oil to help prevent rust since its also so dang humid.The size is for 8" chuck and the other is a 5" chuck.I was some Youtubes on making chuck keys but seems some use W2 and others use 01,but which one would be best for a first timer?
