I'm speechless.....$255??

I own a Tormek, so I'm on their email distribution list. I have most of
the
accessories already, so when I got the email about this one I thought I'd
be
interested. Until I saw the price. The way I figure it, $255 will buy an
awful
lot of drill bits...

Me too, I have had the Tomek for about 10 years and bought the whole package
when it was about $800. *Realistically the add on to sharpen bits is worth
about $75 IMHO.

There are only a few sizes I wear to dullness...every 2 years or so...
I just get new ones. I can't even justify a Drill Doctor and they're
low cost.
Mind you, most of the drilling I do is done with those combo tapered/
countersink gizmos from Lee Valley... Then there is one size of
forstner style bit, a 35 mm, of which I own 3..and I have those
sharpened professionally.
