  1. Mr Mervmaster,

    I would be very interested in acquiring some of your band saw stock. Your pending home purchase time constraints are duly noted.

    I could use about 16 linear feet or more of that stuff. I have about a hundred pounds of .040" x ~1.1" bi-metal, for sawing up to and including superalloys. Very handy stuff. It is great for limited travel springs, fixturing shims, and use your imagination. There is a local company here that has used Pacific Northwest lumber mill blade to to produce knives via stock removal only.

    Please keep me in your thoughts about this, and good luck with all that's new to you.

  2. Probably showing my ignorance here but I don't know what you mean by quad state. Pm me an address and I'll send you a slice when I'm done moving to my new place. Right in the middle of a home purchase.
  3. I will if you'd like, all I gotta do is chop it up.
  4. Yeah my thinking was that I'd remove the tooth section of the blade, and try the spine. These things are like 4 inches wide 1/16 thick and 16 feet long. I'll be darned if they don't kill three of them per day. Limitless steel. I hope it's worth using.
  5. That's good info thanks, I'll cook some up and just see what happens. I have access to hundreds of linear feet of this stuff, it would be a fantastic resource if it heat treats well.
  6. Hey guys, I work in an industrial forge shop. There are tons of scraps laying around, so practice material is no issue. We also use several enormous bandsaws, from which the used blades are also freely available. My question to you is this: is it tool steel? has anyone used bandsaw steel, laminated or otherwise, for cutting edges or other tool steel related applications? Thanks in advance!!!
  7. I'm trying my hand at this incredible trade. I made mower deck/brake drum forge a rail anvil and got myself some scraps to play with. I can't figure out where to buy coke!!! Any help on this would be awesome. So far I've used hardwood charcoal, but it burns up in no time at all!! Thanks for your time.
