Hi all; The son and I are thinking of taking some of his heat treated items out to be tested. We see there are many methods and options offered. Anyone have experience in the rebound type testers -vs- the usual indent types?
We want to test his 1/4" plate tactical type axes. Rebound required mass to function we hear and we did not know if several axes could simply be stacked? Or will the lab/co. simply plop a hunk of steel under? Wondered if this would skew results.
TIA
