Dealing with cast iron / stress?
#5
It's just a baby Tony, 18 inches. That's why I have a feeling any heat treating places won't want to even bother with it, unless they charge me for tonnage.

My main concern is the bottom is going to need a LOT of clean up to get it flat. Granted there is plenty of extra material there, but what is going to happen when I remove it? There is also a good sized divot (void) in the back edge of the base, which looks like I would need to cut at least 1/8" - 3/16" off to get it flat.

Or is it too small to even worry about it? 17428

Obviously I don't have a clue since I'm a first timer.
