Hello Everyone,

Here are some items that i made to try and teach myself how to heat treat steel, These are some of my first attempts, Let me know what you think.

Looks fantastic! What set up are you using? machine /tips/speeds/amps?

My table is a Multicam 1000 5'x20', plasma cutter is a Hypertherm powermax 1000, I made the smallfish out of 16ga hot rolled and the large one out of 14ga hotrolled. I used 40amp tips and nozzles not the fine cut. I cut the 16ga at about 30 amps and the 14ga at 40amps. My multicam has preset speeds for the gauge of metal you are using so i just set my material type, adjust my amps and air pressure on my plasma cutter to the best of my ability and let it fly.

I never have had any training on the table or my design software so I have pretty much taught myself but I still dont know alot of the finer details to really dial it in for high quality cuts. Needless to say there was grinding envolved.
