Sorry in advance if this doesn't fit here.
I went to the scrap yard to get some well soft junk steel & such. While I was there he showed me his section of odd & ends. Mostly stuff like bolts. I found two new .935" & .932 reaming bars they are maybe 1.5" shank so to big for me but at a $1.50 a lb I got them anyway. They are T1. I bought a couple more pieces that I had checked & was told one was s5 06 & the other is 01. It looks like the S5 is good for impact type tools. No idea what 01 is tho. Would ether of these be good for citing tools? I'd like to make a reamer & maybe dove tail cutters. I know the T1 would be good but it is already hardened. Is ether of the other two any good for this? The reamer only needs to make 7 cuts.
