Hi Nic
Do you mean the A 857 went through SS ?
I thought that's the standard .
I'd have my doubts about the PVC , even if it would hold , smallest
prick would kill this solution . I've seen rust under chrome too often .
Ti coating over the steel perhaps next , after that one of the Ti
Nitride coatings used on HSS mill bits, it's a ceramic in fact, there
are three types .

See you                          Paul
