I have both, the black diamond does a better job, but is a bit slower
because you have to match the collet. the finish with the black diamond is
as good as its going to get with type of machine.

I am researching drill bit grinders. I thought I wanted a Darex M5 but
I ran across a Black diamond brand. I don't know much about them, but
they seem to have a good reputation. Any advice on what to look for,
what to avoid etc? How many different models are there?
I realize they use collets and it appears the one I found has a complete
set.

thanks

Hey Chuck,

A very dramatic difference in price from the Darex, to the Black
Diamond and all it's collets.
