And yes, I'm
interested in a heat treat oven as well, especially now that I have
a
surface grinder.


I've sharpened woodworking blades on a surface grinder. They burn very
easily unless I take off only a few ten-thousandths per pass. The mag
chuck won't grip rough work until it has been milled flat and
straight, and it's difficult to hold and support the blade securely
enough over its full length at an angle.
