I finally got around to using a bit Nelson sharpened. This is right out of the machine with no cleanup. I think better than a new bit.

Thanks for the report, looks like I'll be using his service!
As a test, I have 32.5 hrs, on each bit on each machine. I just finished a 5 1/2 hr carve today and it looked very good, with no heat transfer to the truck.

I have often wondered why it is that
Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".

the fool to the left."
For those who were wondering what service cestout is reporting on I think it's; Nelcyn Grinding Service at http://www.nelcyn.com/
Is that right, Clint?

Not sure what the cost would be, but If you send bits and adapter to me. I will press the two together at no charge. If I am out no money just a few minutes of time, it is no big deal to me.
When I first switched to the CT, I had my son take the CT bits asw they died and press them out and press in my leftover QC bits until I ran out. If non-CT bits are good enough and inexpensive enough, it might be worth the $100 or so to get a small hydraulic press from Harbor Freight.

This is the finished last supper project, 5 1/2 hrs, on one of the resharpened bits, working great.
