Gentlemen, I've spent an Enormous amount of time on this thread, reading, researching, pondering, writing and rewriting and rewriting and... I've found there are many posts or parts of posts in this thread that need to be rectified, clarified, edited or omitted.
First of all, we need a firm understanding that there is Way more disinformation than proper information, Relevant To This Forum, to be found bandied about on the internet. Look hard enough, and I'm sure you may be able to find something as erroneous as "the ability to create 3600°F temperatures dry honing a straight razor". I don't care if you can find 2000 metallurgists to agree on it. I want to see One of them touch a 3600° Anything.
I don't have time or patience for Any more distorted or extreme theories, or irrelevant statements. As we Know, industrial applications may be totally contradictory to our reality. That comes straight from our Fearless Leader's written words, and it is My Job to make sure we stay grounded to Applicable Facts. Grinding heats of 1600°F may be possible. If that takes destruction of a TW-90 to accomplish, it is Not Applicable Here.
Use your Best judgement. One piece of disinformation can cause a totally different reality to set in. We all need to be very careful that we aren't polluting the Truth and Relevance of this Forum. If an enormous conglomerate such as GE is measuring grain growth during grinding, it's interesting. Keep It In Context. Insistently alluding "This could happen to you" is incredibly irksome.
As I said, there are many statements in this thread that won't pass my BSometer. If anyone thinks their previous statements have clouded our reality, you may want to Honorably edit them or retract them. Otherwise I Will. If you find that your post has been edited, and you have a problem with that, you are more than welcome to PM me, Mark Reich, the Administrator, or EOU.
To Be Perfectly Clear - Do Not Try to insinuate that Mr Grepper needs to consider overheating Anything. Ever. It's horribly insulting to those of us who have sharpened thousands upon thousands of blades without coming close to softening a single edge.
