If any of you guys have a place where you like to get your diamond bits for a good price, please let me know. I have checked carter diamond, they want $79, most places want $99 for the Hudy and McMaster wants $62.30, I am not sure which bit model to go with if I go with McMaster.

Thanks,

The McMaster reference for the Diamond Bit is: Diamond Poly Bit AL4.

I mounted one this week in a Team Cobra 2000 Pro Com, but I think the hudy diamond bit works better in the Hudy Com Lathe that I have too.
