Well after acquiring some braces for cleanup and use, I now turned to get some bits.
After a few weeks of looking found what may be a ok deal on 21 bits. I do know some will not be any good,
but from the photos at least half look real good. Sharpening the good ones is really a no brain er, but now needed a file.
Nicholson is no longer being made, they seem to the one of choice..:(
LN has one from India, under 10 dollars...
Lee Valley has one from Italy for under 14 dollars...
After reading some reviews I proceeded to the check out at Lie Neilson..a whopping 10.50 shipping charge...?:eek:
I tried the Bay one more time...they did have a brand new Nicholson newly listed for under 10 dollars with shipping slightly over 6.
Well I pulled the trigger on that one....:)
After the buy, went back to gloat...lol...wrong , fine print see photo #4 for casting defect...:eek:
Here is photo #4

Listing says despite the flaw many fine years left on the file...?
