Color me interested. How are you gonna pull off setting the bevel? Ultra fine diamond?
See you in March....When you're done honing!

Right now it is in its annealed state.... Which is pretty dang hard but no where near 80...
I'm gonna see how it hones as is... Then maybe play with heat treat... I have 6 blades now and enough material for 200 more....

a piece of t9064 titanium plate .032" ... read quite a bit about it and i am 94.3% sure it will work in this application.....
but i still have that 5.7% escape route...
Dude, I'm starting to see your level of insanity.

i chose it because it was what we had on hand at the airport.....
...i haven't decided on a method of HT'ing it yet cause the frame back is having issues.....
this experiment is on hold for a bit.....
I'm not 100% sure, but I think t9064 is the same thing ans 6/4 titanium. I suspect that 9064 is 90% Ti, 6% Aluminum, 4% Vanadium, which is the same as 6/4 titanium.
Again, not 100% on that, as google didn't pull anything up specific to Paco's alloy.

OOOOO! I am liking it! Can't wait to see the project once you get it finished. Keep us posted!
Subscribed, if for no other reason than to witness Paco's declining mental state through the honing process.

Please keep us updated. I have some Ti coils and was always curious as to whether I could heat treat them to make them workable, and then re-heat treat to reharden them.
I'm afraid that heat treating will soften it from really, really, really hard....to just really, really hard.
