Can anyone comment on the difference between the machinability of A572 versus A36. We are currently turning a part made of A36, the machine shop is finding that it is excessively gummy to the point where they have to replace inserts.

So I've contact every metal supplier within 200 miles, no one carries 4140 that small. The best material suggested would be 1144, upon reading up on it it seems that it may be to be brittle.
Thanks for the help, what are grade 5 bolts typically made of?
The second question I had was that the studs do not bottom out, as the hole is thru. I was concern with tightening the stud until the threads run out or bind into the hole threads. I've seen some circumstances where a shoulder is...

CorBlimeyLimey, my problem is identical as what you have explained but I have a certified graphics card and certified driver.
Try this, click on a SW file, OK the error, then click on it again and it will open.
The subject line maybe a little confusing, but I run into an error every time I try to load a file by double clicking on it say in Windows Explorer or an folder for that matter.
If I open the file through solidworks I don't have a problem (File -> Open). As well if solidworks is already loaded...
