How do you find the diamond tool bit Daniel?

Just type it in and look it up on Google Jim ...  ;c)

Okay, seriously now .... Pretty much like I said in my write-up, I'm definitely still learning with this system, but my impressions thus far are that there is a lot you can do with it without having to change tool bits or set-ups, and it definitely is the easiest and quickest to resharpen, yet seemingly doesn't need to be redressed nearly as often. Haven't tried cutting threads with it yet, but there is a way explained in the instruction sheets. I'm not about to throw in my traditional shaped bits, but I do find myself using Eccentrics system more and more. One thing it most certainly does is give a much greater vertical load support to the cutting edge, than does traditional horizontally held cutting tools.

Hope this helps.
