Joseph, I have always used an angle grinder to cut, sharpen and shape hardox. It does heat it up locally and it does mean that the material loses some of its properties. However even if hardox loses some of its hardoxness (woo go me on a new word!) you are still left with a very good steel alloy that will take a lot of punishment. I have never tried hardox on a mill and to be honest I would never want to but by all means give it a go.

O and just to add, if it is for a featherweight then I definately wouldnt worry too much about the local effects of slight overheating.
