Hello all - I got a piece of CPMS30V from Chuck at Alpha Knife Supply - I've cut out a couple of folder blades - boy that stuff is HARD 'n TOUGH!! I put a new Sterrett portaband saw blade on, cut one blade and could tell it cut harder than 12C28N - I didn't even get the 2nd blade finished before that blade just about quit cutting! Drills harder also. I sure hope this blade is as good as it's said to be. I will use dry ice and alcohol.
As delivered, it tested at 25Rc vs 14C28N at 15Rc. At 4,000 SFPM a ceramic belt sure cuts it during profiling.
Does these sound normal for S30V? Anyone have experience with the newer S35V? I'm told it sharpens easier, I wonder if it cuts easier on bandsaw?
