Sure but what about the guy that grinds the entire arm of on the belt sander, now that could generate some heat!
I've never had this failure and I have trimmed a few arms in the last thirty + years but I always started with the side cutters first.

Interesting theory there. The amount of time it takes to round off the edges of the cut arm is about 2-3 seconds per side on a belt sander. I would have never thought that the heat could even build up in such a short time to the point where the spline area would deform/crystalize.

I think I've done that once or twice when my workbench was so cluttered that I couldn't find the three or four pair of side cutters that were buried under the mess.

I actually play a game in my garage on this issue. The garage door has styrofoam insulation panels attched to it. I take the side cutters to the horn and see if I can stick the horn in the insulation.

I get around 1 in 10 to stick.

You guys ever see how fast these things pop off with dikes?

I've never tried to polish the sharp ends left, just never seemed necessary to me.

Sean, I know what ya mean! I love to see how far those things will fly when you cut them with dykes. Who needs a gun for home defense? A pair of dykes and a servo arm will shoot 'em in the eye!

I have, however, been guilty of sanding off the corners. Need to stop that.
