I was the guy in the bowtie that Bruce...er, I mean Mycarver delivered the throat punch to.

Diamond coated bits don't work for crap on hardened steel. The diamonds are set in a layer of nickel or something, and it wears off almost immediately.

At least it did for me.

MyCarver may have KOed me last time. But I am preparing myself for future battle:

Yup,, that's why I said they didn't work either. On wood,, acrylic etc. they're OK.

I talked to him last night - I was overloaded on root beers and he appeared in a dream. He honed it on laughing film alright. Good call. He then dulled it on a water glass so it would feel like a Coti. I think he should have just left it alone after the film but he couldn't leave well enough alone. Had to make it complicated.
