    Usually not, just give it a light touch up & try it again.

    I have bee told that bluing HSS does not affect it. So you should be able to resharpen and get on with it.

    HSS or CS? If CS, it probably won't start holding an edge for any lengthy time until you've almost ground the bluing out.

    But there's not much point to regrinding it and losing the steel... using/sharpening it as per normal, perhaps "babying" the blued section a bit, will soon see that section ground away anyway. Unless you're doing finishing cuts or working a cantankerous wood, in which case a good edge can be critical.

    Get used to it. Even the experts blue their chisels occasionally and most turners that I know just shrug & keep on turning.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    alright. it didn't seem to effect turning the goblet much so i guess i can live with it. i just gave it a lite touch up but haven't tried it with turning and i cant untill tommorrow now.

    Then don't worry about it.


    It takes higher temps than bluing to affect HSS... although it's not really good for the steel. Just try not to do it again.
