Default Making your own mandrels?

I know I've seen a thread on this info, but a search did not find it, so I'd appreciate any help.

I visited an AirGas store where they had TIG rods, but I wasn't sure which ones to buy. I wanted the 1/16" inch size but it came in 316 or 308, which is the 'tencil' strength or something...Does it make a difference which ones I get?

So once I buy them, I assume I just cut to length, then grind off the nubs caused by the clippers? Anything else?

Thanks in advance!!

Judy
