Is wet saw worth it
Is wet saw worth it
(OP)
Is there a strong evidence that cutting metal parts (4140,1000 series, cast iron) causes the sectioned plane to ANNEAL?
Our current method is sawing without coolant and plane-grinding off some mil (thousandth of inch) of material.
I appreciate any thoughts/input!

I see lots of hardness failures due to sampling. Regrind .05'' off surface with sufficient coolant often make them pass.

I'd say that using a dry abrasive say will absolutely cause overheating of a material.

The surface hardness discrepancy you mention sounds very much like that caused by surface decarburization.
