Hello All, I seem to have been away a while, and may not be up to speed with the latest on the SET.
I did try a couple of searches for 'Structural' and 'SET' but didn't find what I thought might be some more established threads on this (please point me at them if I missed them).
How has everyone ben getting on with their SETs? Are there any tweaks, or hints for getting clear results?
If I were to summarise my own findings I'd say the first challenge is the consistency of the testing edge. My results are showing inconsistencies which I am sure are due to the consistency of the edge from test sample to test sample.
So far I find that unless an edge exhibits chipping, I can virtually guarantee that I can strop the test area back to a sharpness either identical or often better than the starting sharpness (although usually there is a visible sign of the testing site).
It feels like the results I have so far don't quite match with expected performance, so I'm questioning the value of what I've done so far.
I've got some blades incoming where I would like to show a clear difference with the SET. With a 58HRC and 64HRC version of the same blade there should be a significant observable difference.
What is the current thinking on this?
