Does anyone know a source for leaded en1a square bar in 1″ sq and 1\2″ sq.(or metric near equivalent.) I only seen to see round and hexagonal bar.

Or is there an easy machining steel that machines as easy as the leaded en1A that i dont know about . This is for small quantities.

But where have you seen it in small square sections that the OP wants?

For small square and hex <10mm I machine from round but unless you only need very little 1″ square then that is going to be wasteful of time and material. The usual EN3 that sq and rectangle comes in is not too bad to machine.
