Jan, I also tried re-grinds once to go cheaper on buying so many carbide bits. What I found was that carbide bits usually break before they go dull because they are so brittle. In my experience, re-ground bits had a very short life due to premature breakage. There is no way to know what abuse it has already gone through before it was reground. At first, I thought I had something on my CNC askew and causing the problem, but checked and double checked and then tried new bits. Voila! problem solved. -Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: <JanRwl@...> To: <Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2003 1:10 PM Subject: Re: SPAM: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Metalized holes > Someone "in here" inquired about the appropriate material for router-bits and > drills for PCB work.
