Machining 304 Hot Rolled vs 304 Cold Drawn
Machining 304 Hot Rolled vs 304 Cold Drawn. In the middle of a very complicated part run, with lots of fun, small features; e.g. drilling 0.0315" diameter holes in 304 Stainless Steel to a depth of over 0.18". These parts also were my first venture into 304 Stainless Steel after doing a fair amount of milling and turning of 303 Stainless Steel.
