Is there a reason that you don't use stainless? Reason I'm asking is that I talked with anothe gentleman who swears by cast iron for his crucibles & blocking. But he also has a local foundry that will cast for him.

I like stainless because it will last, after a couple of dozen quenches or so with carbon steel, the steel bloks are toast.

I know some folks don't like SS because it harder to machine, but since I mostly use carbide here in the shop, that's not an issue for me.

My SS crucibles & blocking have lasted a long time... some since day one.
