I’m finding myself necking or adding to the existing LBS on small carbide micro tools on almost a daily basis. Everything I keep in the drawer seems to be a tiny bit short or way to long. I have been limping along using a Deckel single lip grinder but it’s not very consistent (collet runout/general springiness of the stops/manually spinning the collet) and my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be for stuff down in the 0.010in range. I would love a benchtop solution but will make something bigger fit if that’s necessary. Based on the requirements below what’s the class of the field for something less than say $15K? I can't drop $100K+ on an Ewag WS11 as cool as it would be.

• Some way to get a rotary dresser on it for truing diamond wheels
