I am thinking, I should take all these taps to a tool grinding outfit
in Addison and have them resharpened, prior to placing on ebay.


Do they chemically sharpen taps as they do files?


I thought you guys in CA placed dull tools in a pyramid?


In CA, some do. (I never saw it work, tho.)
Here in OR, we take diamond hones to dull tools. I have an array of
DMTs and EzeLaps, plus a Chiwanese cone.

(I left CA in Feb of 2002, Tawm. Keep up, will ya? I guess time passes
differently for you lesbians in Cleavage, OH.)
