Recommendation? Heat Treating During Pandemic Times?

[Quapukulu]

Good morning everybody.

Around a month ago, my blanks of AEB-L were delivered to Tru-Grit in CA and I still have not gotten a response. I have called and emailed multiple times attempting to verify receipt and provide payment info before they get started - but not a single peep. It seems like they are either overwhelmed or just off grid during pandemic times.

May anyone suggest a quality heat treating company?

My batches are simple and hobbyist, since my work is usually around 3-10 blanks of AEB-L, Nitro-V, CPM-154, classic carbon steels or other more "egalitarian" steels.

Thanks in advance for the advise. If there are any great forum members too I'd love to offer my business.

Edit: I would prefer to do the majority of grinding, drilling, file-work pre-HT, if that makes a difference. Thanks again!

Agreed.

They do a great job, reasonably priced, good customer service, and they'll send you a Christmas card to boot!

Another for JT. He's currently working on my second batch of Nitro-V for the year.

TruGrit had a fire in the shop and it took out all their ovens about 3 weeks ago.
They have one running and trying to catch up.

Evenheat is back ordered on ovens and TG should be back to full capacity in about a month.
