Chardon, Ohio ! In my former life I bought a TON of diamond tools from an outfit there-Chardon Tool....The woman I talked to there, Nancy, was the boss or the boss's daughter. She was always very nice & friendly. These things were about the size of the business end of an ink pen, You'd put 'em in the engraver, sometimes they'd last a couple of weeks, sometimes they'd go "CHINGK !" & that was that. Most time they could be re-lapped, but $250 bucks a pop, half that for re-lapping, it was an expensive proposition. We prolly had a good 3-4 dozen between our plant, & there getting re-lapped at any one time. Sorry for the digression...
