That Hilman stuff will make you think something is wrong with your lathe or your skill set.
It’s garbage steel.
You can say that again. None of the unknownium stock I've picked up off CL or ebay machines as badly as the Hilman.
I noticed that one of the mom&pop hardware stores has the rack of Hilman rods and bars labeled as "weld steel". It certainly does seem to weld alright.
