Good idea Dad. But they may get wise to your frequent visits.

had the 350x now i have the 750x.

how many times have we all had that dull bit and are on the last hole and we just push just a bit harder then SNAP!! sharping them for one minute winds up being a lot cheaper.

Don't bother with the Masonry bits, it takes them down to nothing in a hurry! I've had my 750 since they came out, just remember to clean them out once in a while. Diamond dust is very abrasive and can mess up the jaws in the holder as well as wear out the guides.

Thanks for the tip on cleaning. Never thought about it, but it is on my to do list.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
