Hey guys, is o1 a good choice for a beginner with a torch to HT? Also, I've seen a lot of people struggling to drill it. Would it even be possible to drill with an electric hand drill in 1/8 in thick? Thanks!
I'll check it out. Thanks!You might want to consider 80CrV2, sometimes referred to as 1080+. It will harden more easily than plain 1080, which is getting harder to find now days, and the vanadium in it will help pin the grain growth which can be a problem with heat treating in forges.
