Well, I just walked out to garage where I've got a known piece of 4130
Chrome Molly tube (still has the numbers on it from the distributor, cut a
lot slower than mild steel too. Could be wrongly marked, but came from A E
D Motor Sports who seem reliable.). Magnet stuck to it just fine.
Thanks,
Jim W.

Subject: Chrome Moly steel vs. Stainless steel
Is there an easy way to tell the difference between chrome moly steel and
stainless?
I was told today that a magnet won't stick to chrome moly either, so...
What has happened is I think my machinist goofed up, not only measurements,
but material as well.
These are some little spacers, fresh off of the lathe, so hard to tell.
