Kevin, is the quenching oil you mention readily available through mail order ? Is there a web site that handles it ?

Thanks. Roger

Roger-

Check out www.heatbath.com

They have it, but I don't know what quantities they sell in. At least for their salts it is by the pallet the last time I checked.

By the pallet. Wonderful ! I'll check the link out. Thanks Sean.

EDIT: I just did. I should have known better before asking since the discussion was partly centered around 1095. It looks like a sub for water quenching. I doubt I want that for oil quench steels but Kevin would know.

I used to keep Park #50 around for 10xx series steels and Park AAA for oil hardening steels. Now I still work with #50 but use the low temp salts for oil hardeners.

Park used to sell the oils in 5 gallon buckets but you had to order at 4 or 5 at a time, I am not sure what they do now.
