Only 1 5/8" long, but might be good to carry. They claim they outlast diamond hones.

found an ebay store selling them too

Whether they do or don't they sure look handy. ESK/Ceradyne had some pictures of similar BC bits, but I never checked into them.

Thanks for the heads-up! :thumbup:

You might want to contact them and ask for samples for a pass around.

well, it's been a couple weeks with no reply, so I'm guessing 'no' on any freebies for a passaround.

yuzuha posted a link once for some that are 4" long (I think), I don't have time to go find it right now, though. I e-mailed them and asked if they made anything longer and got a pretty quick response that said no.
