Mayhem, I have plenty of ash, this being still the heating season.
Tom, I would be less concerned about re-hardening them, they wouldn't be used at a high enough frequency to cause much wear.
I'm concerned about heating them to 1400°F for a ½ hr.
Also, would oxidation change them dimensionally? As inthey would no longer fit the chuck properly?
