Doesn't that really depend on the metal? E.g. copper is a great thermal conductor while stainless steel a really poor one.

- mauvehaus 3y agoCombination square blades are normally plain carbon steel, not stainless. Actually, almost nothing in a wood shop is stainless because it sharpens poorly[0] compared to O1, A2, or any of the other tool steels you'll find in a wood shop. [0] Yes, I realize that stainless and carbon steel are two whole classes of alloys, all with different characteristics. Based on my experiences with kitchen knives, I'll stand by my claim that at least the common ones sharpen poorly compared to the common carbon steel alloys.
- klyrs 3y agoOf course it depends on the metal! But for a hackjob like this, I'm betting it was run without any thermal management first, and then with the ruler as the first thing at hand... that the effort succeeded at that stage suggests that the alloy is sufficient.
