      Evening fell swarf makers!

      I have a project on the go where I would like to harden a scribing edge on a height gauge, I have some water quenching gauge plate and thought about silver soldering a bit to the foot. I would have used a bit of carbide if I had some but does the brains trust think using the gauge plate and then temper it after jointing and grinding it do the trick.

      Many thanks.

          Quench while stillred hot from soldering then temper, I have done similar a few times for the latches on hit & miss engines

            Thanks Jason.

            I will give it a go and when my burnt fingers heal (always do it after a session with the blow torch) i will post up some pictures.

              What's wrong with making a hardened scribing edge then soft soldering to height gauge extension bar or make a complete foot from gauge plate?

                You might want to be a little more careful, I've had a 3rd degree burn before and they never fully heal !

                      My fingers get badly burned just by all the head scratching I do. When I take my boots off to get past 9 while counting the bandages get in the way doing the laces up.
