David I just checked where I buy small amounts of metal so the price per pound is high. 17-4 from them is about $7.00 per pound..... It would brake my heart to have to turn 40 plus pounds into chips per rear hub. That a lot of money turned into chips.

I wasn't worried about the forging marks. I thought they would be a little stronger and be easier to machine. Also the amount of chips flying would be a lot less.

If you have some forgings that need machining I would be interested.
