Hey Brian. Not to worry Buddy! AFAIK, the M3 and M5 differ only in that the M5 includes a Baldor
grinder, web-thinning attachment, and a point splitter. Otherwise, I think they are basically the
same. I have owned the Glendo version of the M3 for many years and have been very pleased with it.
It resides in front of my old 1/2" Craftsman bench grinder. Right now I'm moving the grinder, the
M3, and Glendo's protractor table onto a new 1/2" steel plate. I do most tool bit sharpening with
the old Craftsman. A new Glendo Accu-Finish diamond grinder is reserved for carbide tools. It sits
under a microscope.

PS: Re. all the chatter about point splitting: I can't imagine why anyone with machine tools would
be concerned with point splitting. Web thinning, a distant "maybe".

Hey Jon,

Pretty happy with the Albrecht chuck I got from you recently. Now
what about that Darex M5? Better than my M3? I
I have a bunch of Drill Doctors spaced about the shop, and I use my
Black Diamond when I really care, so what would I gain, and how much
would it cost? I'd need it shipped to Detroit this time though,
instead of LA but we can work that out later if we go further on this.

Take care.
