I want to make some small boring bars, using some 1/4" W1 drill rod I have on hand and was intending to heat to non magnetic with a propane torch and then dunking it into water. Will that work or am I wasting my time? I could also fire up my wood burning forge for heat but the torch would be simpler and faster. Could even put the piece into the wood stove if that's a possibility. If none of this makes sense I guess I will just do it the smart way and get some HSS blanks.
