I have a few questions concerning the "best" way to do this:
What should I do for drilling holes before heat treating. Do you guys drill them one size bigger? Drill them and redrill after heat treat with carbide or some other bit?
As for putting on a bevel / "finished" edge, how much material should be left for heat treating? Is this the final thickness it will be after heat treating too or do you take it down to final edge thickness after HT? (I'm not talking about a sharpened edge, just thickness if that makes sense)
Thanks as always
