thanks Gene, I used 1950 for 45 mins, with no cryo.

how do you cyro? LN or something else?

can i reheat treat the blade of do i need to start over?

I do quench with aluminum plates in a milling vise I use a drill to close the vise quick. I tempered the spring at 1100 and the blade at 400, what do you suggest for temper since I don't cryo?

Thansk for the reply, I didnt the odd thing the springs are magnetic only difference is the temper. is it possible to quench to fast? everything came out just like it went in bright and shiny

Hello everyone, I have a question about 154cm, I'm making a slipjoint after heat treat and tempering, I noticed it was less magnetic, so much so that it would not secure to the surface grinder chuck, this is my first time using 154cm. is this normal? my recipe ramp to 1450 for 10 min, ramp to...

Thanks tleav61 for posting that link but that is one of the tools I'm current using, for some reason I cant get it to look right. I use 416 ss pins and maybe I should try the 300 series pins. I was wondering how every one else done thins?

I noticed that the pins are domed on slip joints that use jig bone material how do you do that? I know its called pin spinning or something like that and I have bought a couple of tools to do it with but nothing so far has worked for me. anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.
