That is some incredible work Mr. Nead. I am also curious as to what would have caused this metal to stay softer.
Milling a putter if it is CNC milled or Hand milled in a Bridgeport causes
the metal to work harden, most of the time a putter is milled at a pretty high RPM with some sort of coolant, work hardening of the metal is what ruins end mills.That is why it is important to get the correct feed rate and machine RPM for the material you are using. With this putter never being in a mill I noticed a very big difference when I stamped the putter. The first letter I stamped on it I realized how much softer the metal was then what I was used too, and I thought I ruined the putter.
