Hammering HSS steel.
Can HSS steel in its soft state
Be penned ie
What’s it deformation characteristics like.?
Will it yield like mild steel,? or is more prone to flaking an splitting.?
I would like to use some for a base of a hand plane,with the sides dovetail into the steel.
Using a double dovetail.
Like so.
I’ve started my first hand plane making project, an am already over using scrap mild steel with all its pits an defects.
Knowing that I will have too hand grind(lap them out)
An would like to use some precision ground steel for the base.
Saving a Ton of work, I already have my badge of honour for hand lapping old planes flat.
I have no need,or desire to repeat that unnecessarily.
In the sizes I want an considering I’m not wanting to go out shopping much these days plus I’m in no great hurry,
I Can have something like this delivered!!.
Cheers Matt
