You'll notice that the oil only smokes when you pull the material out. There is no reason for the material to be quenching to peek out of the oil. If you dunk the part and move it around the oil, you'll get the affect of getting fresh oil on the part. There will be a bit less burnt oil on the surface and a lot less smoke.
Loved the "doink" at the end. It's been interesting to follow the progress on this here and on IG. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for checking in, Tom! Still having fun and learning. Stay in touch.

Thanks Spencer for showing is the process details 👍👍😎👍👍
You bet! 👍
Stirring the oil with the part being heat treated is an excellent way of inducing distortion into the part.
Another place for improvement, thanks!
Really enjoying the whole process. Great video Spencer.
Thanks 👍
Super fun to watch this!
Thanks!!
I didn't notice. Did you preheat your quenching oil any?
Cheers,
Tom
No, sir, I did not. I am aware that this is a thing, but it wasn't done on this project.
Good stuff Spencer!
ATB, Robin
Thank you, Robin!! 🫡
I'd like to hear more after a while, as I question if your hold cycle at 1550F was long enough to soak the material Just curious.
Hope you get/got good results....that's quite a heat treat recipe!
I hope so too! 😆
Nice, I can't wait for mine to show up in the mail ;)
Stay tuned. 😎
I see you know how to fill a work space as well. As a pro-shop space filler, I assure you there is plenty of space for more tools. 😉
There's always room for tools. It's like dessert. 😆
Hmm, I wonder if 11 second oil will help my 12 second GTO.
Thanks for the video.
🤣
Toolmakers Flat 🎸
Yessssss! 👌
Fascinating stuff Spencer. What eventual hardness are you aiming for?
Ideally HRC 65.
