This is a tool that you use for turning by driving it into the end of your stock the attaches to the headstock. I have one that someone messed up. Shopsmith wants 25.00 plus shipping. Has anyone ever had them redone by a sharpening place.? If not I will have to bit the bullet and buy a new one. Thanks
