Hi guys,
I need to make about 75 smallish stock removal blades out of S35VN as quickly as possible.
In an effort to save time, I'm thinking of having the blades waterjet cut out, and heat treated of un-surfaced steel.
My main question is about the "bark" that comes on rough sheets of steel.
Is it really that much more difficult to grind the bark off?
Is it like scale, that would come off soaking in vinegar?
Would it be easier to sandblast it off?
I've made a batch of knives like this before, and found that grinding hardened S35VN really wasn't a big deal.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
