Hi to you turners. I do not post much here but like to see what people are making. I have just bought a small general lathe and was intrested in making a few tools. To this end I bought a old plane blade for a dollar. It is for one that makes molding shapes so it is thicker than a regular plane blade. I wanted to make it into a skew chisle.
What I would like to know is what rockwell hardness is good for a skew chisle?
I do some knifemaking so I can re do the quench and heat treatment if needed. So my next question would be would anybody know the rockwell of some of those old plane blades?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers Ron.
