- Roy shows you why it is important to anneal your plasma cut blanks before you file them. This video is a cross of techniques between cleaning plasma cut parts, metal filing methods, and annealing metal tips.

Great point Roy! Back when I was making armor, straight from the cut, was tough going. Some pieces, were just easier to form after a session in the bonfire.
Annealing things is a life saver. 85% of the things I grind, file or sand I anneal before I’ve got a plastic 5 gallon bucket of perlite I stick things in glowing hot and you can’t feel the heat about an inch away from a 2 lb hammer that’s 1800 degrees. It’s magic stuff. Saves abrasives too!
Back dragging your files on your work will also dull your files quickly. Files only cut in the push stroke, and not in the pull stroke. This is for those who didn't already know.
I didnt, thank you!
Another great tip :-)
Thanks for the video and the tip. I think that vice jiggling would drive me crazy...
It's not as bad as the camera makes it out to be but yes it is annoying to say the least... But still need this vice movable for the time being :-)
@@ChristCenteredIronworks he just needs Ben Toombs to come hold it steady for him. Lmbo!!!🤣
Thanks for the tip! May God Bless you and your family Greatly
Absolutely agree and please anchor your Vice down killing me Smalls. Lol😘⚒on!!!
Lol maybe someday...
@@ChristCenteredIronworks with "the coming" of wisdom! Love your channel!!!!
Thanks Roy, I did on realize a plasma cut would need annealing. Blessings Wayne
Blessings to you as well :-)
Great point exposed. Hadn't actually tryed filing a plasma cut part but it is a tough initial grind on the grinder. I mean you can feel it on 3/8 1/2 and 1 inches plate I've worked on. Another channel even goes in depth w the full on description of the metallurgy in relation to plasma cut on ar 400 /ar 550 plate ( abrasion resistant) not something else lmbo but good for CZcams.
🙏 blessings abundant sirSir and family
Crawford out 🧙♂️
Very useful tips
Glad you enjoyed them
Yeah I bought a piece of “annealed” 1084 steel but it sounds like it’s hardened at the edges from the cutting. Going to try annealing first.
I chip "dross off" first to save on filing, plus your annealing small parts sounds real good! Dross is the name of the plasma over reach of hot metal sticking to the cooler under side, usually formed when either the current or air pressure or gap settings are incorrect. Peace Out!
#questionoftheday I've gotten rid of scale with a vinegar bath. Will that work on plasma scale?
Brother, does laser cutting work harden around the kerf like plasma or oxy-fuel?
Almost wore out or almost WORN out? What is carborizing? I am new to metalwork, what is christ steel (or metal)? I haven't heard of that alloy? Thank you so much, I'm ready to learn.
It might sound a stupid question do you have to aneal before quenching?
High carbon steel "yes" low carbon "no"
@@ChristCenteredIronworks thanks roy
This tip will save people a fortune in files.
You can revive a file by soaking it in acid. Some people hate when you say "sharpening" a file, even though that is essentially what it is. The acid removes the top layer of metal, and it DOES make the file work (often) as good as a new file. You can check out Old Sneeklock's Workshop (czcams.com/play/PLXlq5qGw1per9H3vdRVTUJIEL_gNE9Quv.html for the file sharpening playlist).
He's a great guy (never actually met him, but he has a wealth of awesome tool tips, tool reconditioning, and general maintenance), and runs a great, no-nonsense channel too. He is also a Michiganian (or Michigander, if you prefer). About four and a quarter hours from you though.

Maybe so, but I'm last. Well, was for a few seconds.⌛
Wow you really don't know what you're talking about. Instead of making things up you should talk to other people who are in the business.
What you don't understand is there's nothing to anneal in low carbon steel. It doesn't get hard.
What you're trying to file off is the slag left from plasma cutting. That comes off. Put a 1 inch diameter cold chisel in your hand and slide it against the slag.
