I just got a couple custom orders using S30V. I was shocked at how hard it was to work with when annealed. It just turned the teeth on a brand-new hacksaw blade. Seems very hard to get deep scratches out when preparing for heat treat, even when using new belts. I take mine to 220 grit before heat treat, using a Norton Hogger 60 grit, then following with a Norzon 220 ceramic. I terrified of this stuff after it's hardened. Can anyone share their process for polishing this steel after heat treating? Brands used, etc., would be very greatly appreciated.
