Cheers Andy, although I wouldn’t touch the 2nd one with your bits let alone mine !

Do you do a trade sharpen service ?

Hi John,

Unfortunately we dont do a trade sharpening service as we have enough trouble keeping up with sharpening our own!

The other person to try (who I forgot to mention) is Colin Archer, CA Servicing who only charges £1.70 per cutter plus return postage.

If you fancy doing your own maybe speak to Graham at Rona Machines and see if he’ll do you a deal on a wheel and microscope. He deals in reconditioned machines so may well be a good chunk cheaper than new. Beauty of having your own equipment is if you suddenly wish you had a tip size 0.015mm thicker than the ones in the toolbox – just walk over and make one!
