I weighed the pros and cons and decided to buy a new portable analyzer. This thing will be very useful to me both at home and at work. I supply metal, sometimes I take metal for the forge, and so on. A portable analyzer speeds up the analysis of metal by grade, sometimes it turned out that the metals were confused with each other and it took time to figure out what and where. I liked my old model of the portable analyzer, but I accidentally broke it. I went to https://elvatech.com/applications/pmi/ and bought a newer and better model from the same company.Last edited by AlexCaffe; 03-17-2021, 12:27 PM.

It also depends on why you need to know. If you are making rifle targets, you can take a sample and shoot it. From experience, you'll know how AR400, AR500, or common A36 will react.Last edited by MAC702; 03-12-2021, 07:04 AM.

Here is the mill edge of a 1/2in plate I bought and the sheared edge. A typical 48in wide x 96in long sheet would have the milled edge 96in and the seared edge 48in. First pic milled, second pic sheared. This is not the only way it comes but one example. As it is being rolled out. 48in wide it gets sheared to length, typically 96/120 or 144 long.
