Have a shoe box full of blanks that aren't severely warped but aren't straight. I would like to be able to salvage them. I have heard that some people will grind them flat. That said, would like to be able to straighten any future blanks that aren't straight by bending them. Was wondering what the likelihood of snapping a blank if I attempt to straighten it post-quench and before tempering. Thinnest stock I use is 1/8 and I grind post heat treat to minimize warping. Any thoughts or suggestions?
