Hi
Lads
I have some parallel steel dowel pins
They are that hard if you put one in a vice and hit it with a hammer it will snap
I put a few in the log burner last nite , (also great for drying welding electrodes) this morning they can be filed and machined :
Would I just re temper it with water like silver steel (drill Rod)
Or do I need Sperm oil : (10 40)
I am wanting to make a centre punch for a video project
Regards
John
