Guzziesti,
I have machined a pivot pin from a good grade of steel (I ground it down
from a larger pin) I could feel the metal get softer after about the first
.020" was cut away. I'd like to surface harden my new pin for wear
resistance. I seem to remember to heat to a cherry red & plunge into oil,
but I've learned not to trust my memory. What's correct?
Thanks,
