   I'm all for it.  I often make my own trim and moldings if I can't find what I want or if I just want something "new".

   should there be new router bit profiles put on the market?

   Paul,

   Easy enough to make nearly any profile you want in minutes from a standard one, if you have access to a Deckel.

   purely for the sake of conversation, just what would one of those set you back?

   Currently there's one on ebay, nine bids and up to $416.

   Seriously, a great machine if you know how to use it, and have the right assortment of grinding wheels.

   CAG,

   One hour out, and up to $455.

   I'll see, might bid on it myself.  Would be handy to have.

   BTW, new, my quess is around $2K.  But there's not internet pricing out there.

   Jon

   Edit: sold for $485.

   CAG,

   Gave it some thought and decided since we have one at work, and I still have a job, I really don't need one that bad.  I'd say if you can find one for anything under $500. it's a good price.  They last forever, and can sharpen any tool bit, or turn one bit/cutter into another.  The one at our shop probably gets used 20 to 50 times a day when we're busy.

   Jon,

   Only took me about a month to get here and read this, still not sure I could justify 600 beans for that particular tool.

   I'd like to see a guide on making different profiles by combining cuts from different bits.
