I called Heatbath and spoke to the "Director of Sales". He said they only sell to those in the industry. They do not have any distributors. Got a hold of Houghton and they have a 7-9 second oil but only in 54 gal drums. If we get enough interest we can order a drum a divide it up. It will cost aobut $13/gal.

you know, I'd be in.
I don't understand some things, however. As you sift through the heat treating threads on numerous forums, Parks #50 comes up often for W1, W2, 10XX, etc. So, SOMEBODY HAS IT! There are folks out there who have barrels of it, or access to it. Give it up guys! __________________ Blade Show Table 8-Q What do you do when you see your ex in pain, limping and bleeding? Relax.

Hey Karl, over on Don Fogg's forum Randal Graham has been saying that Parks/Heatbath has stopped selling it to non-industrial customers, period. Supposedly for "liability" reasons.

I guess I don't understand the liability
Actually, I have friends in the "industry" who manufacture farming implement "accessories" for anhydrous application. I could get them to order a barrel(s) if anyone wants to split some up? __________________ Blade Show Table 8-Q What do you do when you see your ex in pain, limping and bleeding? Relax.

A person might have to register to view this thread. There is a lot of info on commercial quenches and availability. One of the posters is the HT guy at Houghton (makes the oil Brownell's sells as "Tough Quench"). |

Darren Ellis Sells Parks #50 and AAA is 1 or 5 gallon buckets, plus you're supporting a knife maker. www.Elliscustomknifeworks.com

I've also heard that the Heatbath distributor in Michigan is easy to deal with for people like "us". I just took the easy route. __________________ Blade Show Table 8-Q What do you do when you see your ex in pain, limping and bleeding? Relax. Take a deep breath.

Late getting back...
Thanks... I think it will be pretty easy for me to go the route you did and Michigan would be a lot closer than Massachusetts. But I may end up going with Houghton quench products anyhow... on the front of it, they seem a lot more user friendly. |
