    Got these noise canceling headphones for Christmas. I’ve never had real decent headphones before. I finally had a chance to sit down and try them out. One word for these Sony headphones. Wow!


    The noise canceling capabilities are simply amazing. Something I have never experienced before. Not to mention the sound quality.

    Jeepers!

    Yeah I was taught as an Apprentice too. In the days before single use consumerables and disposables. I can hand sharpen any size drill bit, hand sharpen and set a panel saw cross cut and rip. I kind of take it for granted to be honest. Nice skill to have. The drill doctor system seems great and I have had one in my hand a few times but never bought one. I sure it would be consistent and sharp which is a winner. As I go blind with age doing it by hand gets a little tougher.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    The unit has a special undercut profile i believe that can be configured for the style you mention - have not gone there as yet as dont really know the details of why its used to be honest. The unit is really good at returning the face to original, ar optically as close as you can tell.

    I did stuff up the first drill bit, in a big way, but again, read the instructions and all will be revealed. My mistake was not using the drill bit set-up gauge correctly, and I had the flutes 90 deg out of whack with the sharpening profile. Destroyed the bit complete, Anyway, back to the booklet, and correction made, drill bit returned to its former shape, but sharper.

    My advice is: not to follow my advice.
