Heat Treating Sword Blades

[tmaring]

Have not seen any forums around here talking about practicalities of heat-treating sword blades. Also can't seem to figure out where is the best forum to offer used sword-making equipment for sale. I'm retiring and have a custom built electric furnace for swords for sale. It's heavy (500lb), you'd have to pick it up.(Arkansas)I can help load. 40 inches deep inside, 5" inside diam. 65 ampere draw at 220 Volt AC. Automatic set-point controller. Argon gas feed line. Sealable enclosure. Reaches 1900 degrees F soak in 45 minutes. $1450

Give swordforum.com a try. There is a swordsmith's cafe page where the smiths hangout. Also a classifieds section for customers.
