[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1790416, member: 24284"] Nitriding leaves a super hard, thin layer. I checked a couple on the Rockwell Tester and they checked 65-68c. That thin, hard layer can be cut with carbide. After you're through the nitrided layer, HS tooling can be used. So, if you have a carbide chambering reamer, no problem! But, as has been discussed to death, carbide tooling can create its own set of problems for those who can't deal with the accelerated speeds and feeds associated with carbide tooling. I have had zero problems with carbon. But, part of my cleaning routine involves the use of a carbon cleaner. I don't let carbon get a "foot hold' to begin with. [/QUOTE]
