My family just gave me a $215 Amazon.com gift certificate.
So -- I gotta go spend it.
Here are a few things I am thinking of.
Drill Doctor 750 or 500
I actually don't care about the ability of custom drill point angles - which is the biggie special feature on the 750. BUT - I do like that is can scarpen up to 3/4 without buying the adapter. I really could use a drill sharpener. For all intents and purposes, I beleive the 500 and the 750 are about the same

The link is for the comparison only
Price comparison wise
D500 machine-3/4 adapter-extra wheel = about 160
d750 machine and extra wheel == about 160
So price wise it's a no brainer
BUT -- does anyone have one - do you like it - do you use it?

Grizly slow speed wet grinder

REALLY - I am most interested in being able to sharpen my jointer knives and my planer knives - not sure this is even going to do that for me - yes I could get the accessories - but??
I am quite OK with the scary sharp for plane blades and chisels. I am also skilled enough that I can use a bench grinder for lathe tools and other stuff.

again - same comments as the Griz slow grinder
