    Standoffs to small.

    Thanks Guys! Ill check those binding screws out Fellhoelter. These 3/16 are a little too small for this application. I may try them on some 1/8 steel. Im going to just pin these knives and try the standoffs or the binding screws on my next batch.

    Right on Clint. More then one way to skin a cat. I probably will plate quench again this go around. I was curious about the oil procedure because I never hear anyone talk about it. I appreciate the tips and info man. Thanks

    Standoffs to small.

    I got the standoffs from USAknifemaker.com Torx head screws also. The standoffs werent too small I just drilled the holes too big. Ill use smaller bit next time and try to drive them in. I think I may use .25 inch standoffs in the future also. The 3/16 look a little small though I havent put...

    Standoffs to small.

    Hey Guys. Im using standoffs and torx heads to hold the scales on my current projects. I ordered 3/16 x 3/16 standoffs to go with the 3/16 steel im using. I drilled my holes at 3/16 figuring the 3/16 standoffs would have to be pressed in a little but I have a few that are loose. Do I just...

    Thanks Silverman.....I totally missed your reply yesterday. So I guess you just oil quench the blades with the foil on them like with the plates?

    Thanks John! I usually dont have a problem....just got greedy and tried to get them all at once. Why is the oil quench frowned upon by so many. Is it just the mess?

    Didnt get my 60 rockwell.

    Thanks Sampson. What quench oil are you using for ATS -34? Are you SS foil wrapping the blades when using the oil as a quenchent? These blades are 3/16 so im sure I didnt get it cool fast enough. I usually get a 59 or 60 after tempering. Im leaning on just re heattreating them this weekend...

    Didnt get my 60 rockwell.

    Hey guys. I heat treated some ats-34 at 1930 for 30 minutes then tempered at 275 for two hrs. My rockwell ended up at 57 hrc. I think my aluminum quench plates were not big enough to do all 4 big blades at the same time. My question is: Would a dry ice treatment raise the rockwell after I...
