    Tool Vevor Drill Bit Sharpener

    I picked up the MR-13b model a few months a go but really wanted the expensive VEVOR MR-20G I had a good look at it and figured its an identical machine function wise and was only missing another collet holder and a few oversize er 20 and 25 collets ( along with spaces in the front to store...
