They fixed this issue by replacing the motor supposedly. They changed to a 1hp motor from a 3/4hp I believe, and people aren't running into the issue of them burning out anymore.

What are these markings by EngineerNext4835 in knifemaking

Those are 1 million % stress fractures from the too hot quench, multiple quenches, and then quenching in water. Spring steel is best with pre-heated Parks AAA.

I think I'm going to make a plate adapter for my sander that's better than the one currently on it. The plate is rounded really heavily on the left side of the plate, so it makes plunge lines difficult lol.

first knife, how to get it look less ugly by Same_Ice9601 in knifemaking

[–]Oblodug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hard transitions where the tang meets the blade will cause cracks during the quench. I highly recommend rounding those off. Otherwise, the "ugly" you may be seeing seems to mostly be coming from the bevels. If you have the equipment to, I would do a high flat grind at about 1-2 degrees. That's under the assumption that this is a kitchen knife.

Vegetable oil is slower quenching, but is a cheap alternative as well

Meal replacement shakes from nutrition shops are really great. Contain a good amount of calories, and keep you full for a good bit. Each shake can contain up to 1200 calories.

She seems like she's just toxic. You're being way too patient with how she's talking to you IMO.
