A good read and it makes sence. Thanks Tom. I do ok with wood. Well, most of the time, but im no metal guy. I did learn to weld exhaust pipe when i was young but never really played with steel much. This is one of the reasons i keep telling myself i dont NEED to buy that 2x70 belt sander. If a blade is that far gone i will send it out or get rid of it.
I will try this annealing. Its just a matter of getting the pin to the right length and pulling it out again before pinning. A little extra time is all and it may make my peens look better.
