| Registered User Forum Fanatic | thanks BJ...I'm using a 1/2" point cutting roundover bit to cut a lot of grooves in MDF. It doesn't take long before I feel the bit dulling. I'll probably try to find a flat diamond honing stone with a real fine grit to try to touch-up the cutting face. Greg |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | Hi gregW You'er Welcome MDF will nail the cheap bits and some of the good also just about any man made wood will do it , glues,resin, are hard when the setup and they will have dirt in the boards that is like sand paper. Look for a 600 and 800 grit , I think I saw one at Rockler at one time or LeeValley... Bj Quote:

| Senior Moderator Supreme Forum King  | Most woodworking stores also offer a bit sharpening service. It is cheaper to sharpen than to purchase new but you are limited on the number of sharpenings before you have to replace the bit.
