The cost for sharpening t-alloy is 40%more than carbide; but the need for sharpening is 50% less, so actually the cost is nearer to only 20% more than carbide. T-alloy shaper cutters are $5 per wing and t-alloy router bits are $2.80 per wing.
T-Alloy bits may be purchased from Freeborn Tool Company, Inc. ph : 18005238988, web: www.freeborntool.com, be sure to mention my name: Matt Lehman and our company, Sharper Edges when ordering.
"Since the 1970's, Freeborn Tool Co. has been a leading manufacturer of shaper cutters. All Freeborn shaper cutters go through a stringent quality assurance program throughout the production process with multiple checks, and balancing to ensure perfect fitting."
