In an effort to conserve money I am rethinking the idea of a quench vessel. I need something that will do up to approx. a 24" in length of blade for a knife I am going to make. :what!:
With 6" and about 28" in depth I can get by with a little over 3 gallons of quench oil!
With 8" and about 28" in depth I can get by with a little over 6 gallons of quench oil!
My present tank is 10.5" and about 28" in depth it will take a little over 10 gallons of quench oil!
So here is the $50,000 dollar question what diameter of pipe am I looking at. Can I get away with a 6" diameter pipe or is that to small to stab into. I will be running a pump on it too circulate the oil and won't be doing too many multiple quenches.
Anyone got any ideas on this subject or care to share info on what they are using it would be greatly appreciated. :biggrin:
