forgive my ignorance, as I thought I had bookmarked the pertinent threads and turns out hadn't and my google search of the forum turned up nothing.


I have 5 items of 1/4" 5160 and 7 of 3/16" 1095 that I need to get heat treated here reasonably soon. I would like to use Paul Bos but am SOL on this since he doesnt do these steels.

I have Peter's Heat Treat bookmarked and on good recommendation. Anyone know about what it costs per lot, if they can do the above steels, and the approximate turnaround time? And most importantly, verify they do 5160 and 1095?

There is a local place here, Braddock Metallurgical, that will treat a massive (1000 piece lot) for 85 bucks, but its a bit pricey since I would have to do 2 lots.

Much appreciate the help
 
I think Paul would have charged around $15/blade. Check out some prices but the $85/lot seems very reasonable to me. That's only $14.17 per blade plus shipping. To get it done right the first time....
 
I didn't mean to say 85 wasn't reasonable; I was just hoping there would be cheaper. I might just have to put off heat treating one of the steels til later.
 
Peters heat treat does all my ATS34. You can give them a call "good people."
I just got a new price list from them. Its $15.00 per blade up to 4. Then its $60.00 for up to 20 Lbs. So for 20lbs of blades its $60.00 this includes cryo treating. Normal turn around time is about a week. That is for each type of steel.
 
Peters' will do up to 20 lbs of like hardening (i.e. oil, air, etc.) steel for $60 plus shipping and $7 handling fee. Brad Stallsmith is the POC for me. Great people and everything is included for that. Every piece is HT'd, cryo'd and Rockwell tested for that price.
 
I totally concur. The only problem I have ever had and they have since corrected was pitting on some CPM-154 pieces I had. Great service!
