Been using my Walco for a few months and comparing it to a new one, its worn down about 20mm...
Has anyone case hardened the edges with any success with a welder?

Have used a hardfacing powder through a modified size 15 or 20 oxy acet. tip.
The powder loaded into a small funnel like canister atached to the tip and realesed by way of a lever trigger, you get the part you want faced red hot and introduce the stuff...... worked a treat!
