Description

Tempered Grinding Blades are the middle grade of Recycler blade set in the Ala Industrial mod, one step above Iron Grinding Blades and one below Diamond Grinding Blades. The Recycler grinds exactly one item per operation, and every ground item costs the blade set one point of durability, so a fresh Tempered Grinding Blades set lasts 768 items — three times the 256-item lifetime of the iron grade. The ×1.4 speed of the tempered grade cuts the base 40-tick (2-second) grind to about 28 ticks, and scrap metal no longer halves the pace the way iron blades suffer. A durability bar keeps every set to a single inventory slot, so the blades never stack. Ala Industrial runs on Minecraft 26.2 Java Edition only, identically on Fabric and NeoForge.

The recipe chain starts from Iron Grinding Blades — four iron ingots around a Basic Bearing with an Iron Gear in the bottom slot. One smelting run in any furnace, vanilla, iron or electric, turns one iron set into one Tempered Grinding Blades set. Inside the Recycler the blades occupy a single dedicated slot; the LV machine draws 8 EU/t from its 800 EU buffer and refuses to run with no blades installed. A full 64-mass batch built from 16 blocks costs about 3584 EU at this grade, and the ash bin collects 3 ash per batch against 4 with iron. Tempered Grinding Blades are also the stepping stone to the top grade: four diamonds around the set plus a Reinforced Bearing below craft Diamond Grinding Blades with a 2048-item lifetime.

Java Edition Guide

Using Tempered Grinding Blades in Ala Industrial

  1. 1

    Craft the iron set first

    Arrange four iron ingots around a Basic Bearing on a crafting grid and put an Iron Gear in the bottom slot to make one Iron Grinding Blades set.

  2. 2

    Smelt the set in a furnace

    Place the Iron Grinding Blades into any furnace — vanilla, iron or electric — and one smelting run turns the iron set into one Tempered Grinding Blades set.

  3. 3

    Install the blades in the Recycler

    Open the Recycler and put Tempered Grinding Blades into the single dedicated blade slot; without blades the machine reports a stop and grinds nothing.

  4. 4

    Watch the durability bar

    Every ground item costs one point of durability, so replace the set after 768 items or move up to the diamond grade.

Important

A full 64-mass batch of 16 blocks draws about 3584 EU at 8 EU per tick, and Tempered Grinding Blades leave 3 ash per batch — one less than the iron grade.
