Heat tint remover. Lots of what I've used are used with electricity. Here's one I found that is stand alone. https://ronsonstorch.com/product/stainless-weld-heat-tint-remover/

Did you look at the Coote?

The devil hisself did this right here.

Nope, I'm free handing it. I think it's the lighter pressure and feel that keeps the hole from wandering as bad.

IF I was buying a machine, it would be the Cowboy Outlaw. But, I have finally settled on a method that works for me. Once I have the it all put together and the welt sanded and all squared up, I run a fairly shallow stitch groove and mark with an over stitch wheel. I then use a dremel with a...

I ground a big notch in the back of my thumb today, between the first knuckle and my wrist. I started to grind and realized my water bucket wasn't in place so I grabbed it and stuck it under there. Straight into the edge of a 50 grit belt. It sucked. 10 hours later it still sucks.

Yeah, that would be one way to go. A take off motor and a couple hardware store sheaves would be another, if you wanted a lower investment to get going.

You should look at Coote grinders. This is a much better grinder set up than any 1X. You can use something like this forever.

I have a 7" drive wheel on my grinder. 2HP 1740rpm on KBAC 27D set on double. So speed is: 50%/60Hz = 3187 sfpm 100%/120Hz = 6374 sfpm I typically run at 70% (~4500 sfpm) to rough grind at 50 grit, and drop to about 50% when I step up to 120 grit. Everything else is under 40%.

I suspect the Kershaw blade material is more of an industrial process.

That's cool.

There is a knife company or two that does carbide or similar edges that are soldered on. I reckon it does work.

Check out the heat treating forum.

You should mention that "mainly folders" part over in your equipment priorities thread. :)

Yup. You need a 2" x 72" grinder and a metal cutting bandsaw.

Do you guys get any warping when you bead blast?

Very nice!

I quit shaving my arm hairs. I woke up in the middle of the night not too long ago and thought I had been put in a straight jacket. But it was just the long fuzzy hairs on my dominant arm velcroed to the short prickly hairs on my testing arm.

Last HRPA 80CrV2 I got from there was quite barky. Not an issue if you know it's there to grind out, but I do cold rolled if I got the option.

When you have clean, hard steel you should get an even dark black color. You coated it to prevent decarb, so I wouldn't suspect you had much to deal with, apart what was there from milling. It usually isn't much. But if it was me I'd go at it with a good 120 belt until I got .005"-.007" off of...
