<div dir="ltr">I had a cutting edge made from AR500 steel at the local steel shop. It was VERY expensive, but it has been in use for 8 years and still going. The AR designation is Abrasion Resistant. Same stuff they make steel rifle targets from. The Steel itself was not too bad, but they charged me a fortune to cut it and drill the holes for mounting. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Dec 18, 2016 at 12:43 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eric@megageek.com" target="_blank">eric@megageek.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Maybe someone here can point me to the
