shot by snuffer
« on: October 24, 2008, 09:21:00 PM »
wellll...i have been messing around with snuffer broadheads for more than a week,today while at work i was heating up a broadhead with a torch,this particular head had an insert in it and i was holding it by this insert with sidecutters.i was getting it good and hot when all of a sudden a loud pop and sudden funny feeling in my arm,that broadhead actually shot me in the bicep, OW. now thats funny.....  :bigsmyl:  .....ps my boss said to keep my yap shut as to what the secret sauce is but he says you can get almost the same results by heating head up to orange then dip it in blade coolant of some type and then repeat process.  :campfire:

Oh. When I first saw the title I thought "and he lived to tell about it"?  :p
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

" almost the same results" must be a super sauce   :notworthy:  . What is a good blade coolant and where would you get it? Glad your ok.

:bigsmyl:  no stiches,just butterflied it and moved on. blade coolants are typically found through saw suppliers etc...if you cannot find any i can get the info off of the drum at work and send it to you...it works i tried it also and the broadhead is definately tougher.i changed the angle on one blade and left one at factory angle..i then heated both and dipped in coolant mixture (twice) then i tried to sharpen both on snuffer tamer..blade i changed to 18 degree bevel was harder to sharpen than blade that was changed but not treated...blade that was not changed to 18 degrees was very hard to change to 18 degrees after hardening..so one can only assume it is much harder than before treated.plus i was told by several people at work that it would be much harder and i trust what they say as they have been in the steel buisness for decades each.  :thumbsup:
