The code's a bit odd. Try in another browser?

Works in Firefox 3.6.13

Thanks Grahame and Ern!

That is a really good link.

Unfortunately, I usually log in from work, and we're still in the stone age........... IE6

HI Paddy
I bought one just like yours but a differant brand at the Melbourne wood show last year,the bearing housings melted after about five minutes of operation,no problems getting it replaced and now have a new one.
This is my problem,it all seemed very simple to use looking at the demo at the show but I can`t seem to get it to sharpen with the correct angle behind the cutting edge.(maybe I am missing a step in set up)
Any suggestions. Thanks in advance

It's suitable for 3-13mm bits, which makes a lot of sense; small ones can be replaced cheaply and larger ones can be sharpened by hand on a bench grider fairly easily anyway.

Where did you buy your multi-sharp from in Australia. I can't find it anywhere and am keen to give it a go.
