I use a small HF bench top with a 1/2" chuck, it works just fine and I use a 2" drill press vice from HF, it works great just make sure you are using quality bits. Also if you go to HF hit me up with a PM with your email address and I will email you a 20% off coupon.

LOL, that crap is sure to make you pucker up a bit(if you know what I mean)... I have had it happen a few times especially when working with the smaller neck size knives when I am profiling at higher speeds. I have since done what others have said and actually put the rest to the belt to the...

Prob just need to get it a bit hotter, and quench quickly, I keep my tank about a foot from my oven it comes out and goes in the oil in less than a second. Try it a few more times in low light and note the color too, after a while you will get to know the right shade. This is just from one...

I just stick mine in the HT oven and take it to crit then cut the HT oven off and let it cool overnight, comes out nice and soft, drills like wood.

That is a beauty.
