Don A Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm going to resharpen a couple jackhammer / breaker bits for a friend. As a favor, no pay, no guarantees, standard disclaimers, etc., etc. First, would you harden in oil, brine, or water? Second, what color would you draw the edge to? Thanks in advance, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokshasa Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 well im no expert but i dont think oil would be the way to go, if anything i would use a warm brine rather than strait water. keep in mind that the jack hammer cuts stone and concret, as for the temper i would draw it to a dark straw to a light purple so that you have some hardness but not to much that it will snap under the strain of use. (anyone feal free to stop me if you know better lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don A Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thanks a lot for that link. I shoulda used "paving breaker" in the search instead of "jackhammer". That's what I needed. I appreciate it, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
