   The only negative with O1 is that it is a hypereutectoid steel (carbon >0.8%), which means that to get the most out of it, you need to be able to soak it at a stable temperature of 800-820 deg C for...

   Annealing before drilling would greatly help your cause. Otherwise some cobalt drills ,low speeds and high feed pressure with cutting oil.

   good HSS drills initially then try carbide. Sharp and if you think its going to be a tough steel cut your revs down and once you start cutting keep a good weight on the feed. Don't let it rub and...

    For steel, have a look at Artisan Supplies. They have a NZ based store as well, so if you place an order on the Aust website, you will be dealing with the NZ based team. For standard size knives,...
