Oh, how thick of material and what kind?

Probably 3/16th mild steel.

I don't know if there are non-magnetic mild steels out there, but in
order to avoid them you might want to specify "magnetic mild steel".
Magnetic sensors don't work too well with non-magnetic materials.  They
can be made to work, but they're hard to work with.

Wow! Russell I did not know that.

Russell, The fact is you would have to search and pay extra for any

non-magnetic steel. In the case of anything you would order as "mild

steel" will be magnetic. The only thing you might need is to plate the

part to pervent rust.
