Anyone know of a generic chart that describes/lists what each letter in those acronymns mean? It seems that the first letter refers to the shape, but I can't figure out what the rest is, and which ones correspond to the material they're made of, or perhaps the material they can machine. Manufacturers charts seems to have limited info on this based on which ones they make. Any generic charts like that available?

Thanks,
-Neil.
