Polishing & Heat Treating O1 Jacket Drawing Dies

The O1 drawing dies have worked well, but they weren’t as well polished as they could have been nor were they heat treated.

I realized using a dremel + felt bob + polishing compound may a better way to polish. In this video, we build a rotating fixture to spin the die as we polish.
