Drill Bit Sharpener, $600, Lethbridge, AB

I currently sharpen less than a half dozen drill bits/year. As I've noted before, the small ones I just replace. This sharpener makes no financial sense to me at all. Have other priorities.

Along w/ that 10" I picked up last summer, I have an 8", 1/2HP Delta and a 6", 1/4HP Chinesium that a buddy gave me years ago. I've been wanting to sort them out so that I can have a dedicated HSS sharpener (although I've been using a 6" belt sander to that end thus far), a green wheel for carbide, a Scotch-brite wheel and a dedicated TIG rod wheel. I may get rid of the Delta in search of another decently powered 6" (>1/4HP).
