USES.
Specially useful in tools subject to shock, such as hand and pneumatic chisels, boilermakers caulking tools and rivet sets. Also for cold upsetting dies, cold punches, shear blades and stamping dies. A special grade of this steel makes excellent taps.
HEAT TREATMENT.
Heat slowly to a low red, about 1400 degrees Fahrenheit, or if low carbon content to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit; being very careful not to over-heat. Quench in good clean tempered water; keeping tool constantly in motion. Draw from 250 degrees Fahrenheit to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

USES.
Do not confuse the High Speed, although excellent for turning chilled cast iron, clean finishing cuts. Especially adapted for taps and reamers, as well as for tools for brass, bronze, aluminum, copper and chilled roll turning.
HEAT TREATMENT.
Heat slowly to full bright red, 1425 degrees Fahrenheit to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. Quench in luke warm water. Keep tool constantly in motion. Draw to not over 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
