Tracy,

I'm the (one of the?) guys that use compressed air in with the plates. I couldn't tell you why, cause most don't. But RJ and friends never said it would hurt.

One interesting thing that happens to me is I don't get much of a hardness increase with cryo and S30V. (snap temper or not) I asked about that before and was told not to worry about it; it just means my quench process is working well for me, but to keep up the cryo.



Steve

Thanks Quench.I apprecaite it.

Sorry Steve, I just recall who was doing that. I think it makes perfect sense. I need to try that, I just haven't wheeled my compressor over from one garage to the other yet but I will the next blade I do and report back on the results.
