[SEL] Gib key

[R and E Freeman]

I've made mine out of standard Key Steel which is a little better than mild
steel. It can be hardened. Original gib keys I have worked with seem to be
the same material.

Hi fellas,
    Are keys generally made of a stronger steel then the common bar stock
found in Lowes, Home 
Depot, or Tractor Supply? I need to make my own since I can't find a
supplier that has the size key 
I need, which is  5/8 X 1/2 X 12 inches.
Thanks,
John
