friends with cool tools
Thanks to a bud with a plasma table, I now have 43 shapes to heat treat, grind out and handle --- 7' nakiris, 8" utility knives, 9.5" chef's knives and 10" cimeters, all cut from L6 (like) sawmill blades. |

Isn't that like cheating?
Just kidding, plasma cutters are very cool and have come a long way in the last 20 years....no more angled kerfs. Robb |

Considering I've been cutting out rough profiles with a 4 1/2" angle grinder prior to annealing, then cutting the profiles out with a band saw, after anealing , this is a huge time saver.

That will keep you busy for a good while.
HUGE time saver. Time is the most valuable commodity in any shop. __________________ Barry Jones Knives |

Ive got a cnc plasma table myself. About how far are you having to grind back from an edge to get past the decarbonized zone?
