I need to make a handgun sear and have some S7 tool steel, but the minimum charge for heat treating has really spiked recently.
So my question is what is the minimum equipment needed to heat treat S7? I had a HT oven once but sold it many years ago, now I have only an acetylene torch. I see muffle NG furnaces cheap in ebay, would that suffice? Would those cone things be good enough to set temperatures? I think S7 needs to be held at temp for a time. I have plenty of steel for experimentation.
Thanks in advance.
