Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CNC drill sharpening

Hello !

I have a request, I have a requirement for a small quantity of router bits
to be made. Only one shop here in Fayetteville NC will even talk to me
about producing them and I suspect that the quote is gonna be in the three
figure range.

Would anyone have the capablity to turn HSS steel and would be willing to
lend a hand ? I would pay for materials and beer/dinner money of course.

alll the best
Sean Trost
