I'm in the middle of a process write up for a 20 blade batch. I initially was going to use 1095 3/16" x 1" cut into 12" lengths.
I do my surface grinding on a
4x36 myself. In my past experience I remember hot rolled flat bar being somewhat cupped down the center.
After removing mill scale and grinding relatively flat will I be out a whole bunch of thickness? Will removing .010-.015" be enough to eliminate warpage in the HT process? Is precicion ground worth the price? Any advice would help. These are for a martial arts school and I really want a great blade, I'm outsourcing the heat treat to ensure a certain level of quality.
The contract will be between 30-50 units.
