Thanks Deejay, I see
I really didn't think a file would be that useful of a tempered piece of steel, but obviously it works
I've just been on Youtube the last night watching sharpening of bedknives and the importance of it (duh at myself)
I guess now the Buddy tool is really just for in-between Machine sharpens?
I read in another thread that $200 for a regrind was dear. I went to a local Engineering machine centre and they refused to quote, but told me that it'd have to be in the vacinity of $300
I politely said - Oh really, thanks anyway and bought a brand new 10 blade.
with a bit more experience and an old 6 blade to play with, I now think instead of trying a on machine grind, I'll jig something up with my lathe and a flat pad grinder/linisher
