One guy warned me that warping could be an issue. We could easily test a piece. I also know where a tool post grinder is... I planned on messing around with this at christmas time.
I really don't think warping would be an issue. I could be wrong. I have heard about dimensions changing during the heat treating process. As a rule of thumb I think you can plan on "growing" the OD by 1% when something is quenched.
