What kind of steel is this???
I was at the scrapyard today and picked up some cutters.
Here is a photo: http://www.drizzle.com/~dantzler/ima...cutter0007.JPG The 3 thick ones have the following stamped into them: UNION-CARD DIV STW 8 x 1 1/2 BLADE-1122 R & L WEDGE-W-25 & W-25L The thinner one has: Apex Tool & Cutter Co Inc Shelton Conn 53-60404 8X 742 46-820052-01 BLADES 65-66-11 It's a safe bet that the teeth are some type of carbide. What type of steel are the blades made out of? What is the typical use of these cutters? I ask because I will be very happy if I got 40+ lb. of some type of tool steel that can be forged into interesting, sharp things. Jeff Dantzler Seattle, WA |
