I purchased an old NewHermes Bit Grinder off of E-Bay about a year ago for $350. It is specifically designed for sharpening Single Flute Engraving Bits like the ones from Antares. Nice Diamond
Wheel. It did not have any manuals, but a shout to some of the newsgroups and some great replys, from the guys that make it all worthwhile, helped me to figure out how to use it properly. Thanks to
all those who helped.

Sure do like having it around as now I do not have to save up a bunch and send them in for sharpening. However, If I need to get some real exact sizes, (which is hard to do without the comparator
that I did NOT buy yet) well, I still have to buy those. Antares stuff.... Good Stuff !
