Do ya think it's worth the $ difference for the diamond?
Thanks for your help.

I'm sure the oilstone would work, but I saw the DMT demo at a wood workers show and was impressed by the quickness a razor sharp edge was formed.
I also thought that $50 was waaaay too much, so I shopped around and found some at Harbor Freight for around $12.
They are color coded and seem to work as well as the DMT's.
