    Stainless Steel Shafting- bear material

    I could use some input on what type of stainless steel to use for a couple shafts.
    It should machine and thread nicely.
    Low speed application with light loading.
    It’s for a couple of telescope mounts.

    1.5” dia by 14” long, maybe 200# load

    Thanks!

    I would use 303, much nicer to machine than 304 or 316
