See image for details.

For example, its shape and material.

Again, my 37 years experience not leading me anywhere with your request and choice of words.

Shape of what? the threads, holes?

Material? You need advice on the material?

Industry standard terminology is important...

Apologies, I mean the shape of the block material prior to turning on a lathe. Hope this is clearer.
