Can stainless steel be machined?

Yes. However the standard grades of stainless steel are usually “gummy” and will not produce a clean chip when machined or turned. To solve this problem, many companies produce “free-machining” grades of stainless where they add a “chip-breaker” to the matrix. Grade 303 is the free-machining equivalent to grade 304.
