316 is ok to work with, if your only bolting , you said it was square,,Im thinking plasma cutting etc...if your drilling holes ,,,keep rpm down ,,,lots of coolant, water will do but oil you tools after... 316 work hardens really quickly, you can melt a drill in the stuff,,,really Im not kidding, Im a machinist/ toolmaker/ fitter/ boilermaker/ whatever pays the bills LOL..
