[QUOTE="Bandit1047, post: 12931, member: 1222"] Stop right there. Do Not go out and buy some 4140 and make your own pins. I manufactured guide systems for stamping dies and also made some pins for my own equipment. If you want to risk a pin breaking and killing someone, go and make your own. With a qualified service rep., you also get piece of mind and liability insurance. With Factory replacement parts you get the manufacturer to stand behind the product, or your widow has someone to sue. Pins and bushings are engineered to take specific loads and are heat treated and tempered to specifications and often checked for cracks and defects as well as correct "Rockwell" hardness. They look simple, but the risk is high. The life you save just may be your own! Joe [/QUOTE]
