Thanks very much guys. Now I know what to do.

Can anyone give advice and/or recommend a machine for sharpening mortice bits? I'm happy sharpening the mortice chisels but cannot find any info on the bits. The bits are English pattern, with two cutting spurs and twin spirals. Many thanks Geoff

Thanks Mike. Thats exactly what I want. :D Hopefully I can find a site in the UK, but I am sure that the US supplier would send them to me if not.

I have had a Triton 2000 for years now and it has done fine service, no doubt having paid for itself many times over, but still quite expensive once you get all the bits!! A couple minus points for me are the depth of cut and the fixed 90degree blade. In fact a real pain!! Big plus is...

First what a great forum. So much info, I am going to enjoy ploughing through it in time. But, it is time to buy a bandsaw, I have put it off for too long now. I have read a lot of the reviews on the forum, all helpful, but I am still not sure. I am not trade but more than hobby. I...
