That being said I have a       D-Bit/tool&cutter grinder for grinding carbide... with cheap diamond       wheels.              I do have the problem of to many grinders and not enough place too put       them.              --       Bob La Londe       CNC Molds N Stuff              --       This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software.       www.avg.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
