Toolpost Query

Hi folks , does anyone know what kind of material toolposts are made of , got a couple made at work out of carbon/ mild steel & they seem a bit soft , picking up small dents in them . I am assuming i need harder material ? cheers T

Assuming you're referring to woodturning lathe tool posts; You'll probably get a better answer in the woodturning section of the forum.
Home made tool rests are currently being discussed there in the thread at https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/diy-tool-rests-t82758.html
