    Here are the carbide bits. You can get them online cheaper than what I paid. $15. Each but the tool alone are $100 and up the only difference is the length the bits are the same.

    Very nice,love the handles.I was able to buy just the shafts with Bits because I wanted to make larger handles for them.
    Been using the same Bits almost every day for maybe 8 yrs.
    Are real easy to Re-sharpen.

    All:
    Thanks for the feedback. This is one I went with. Ordered it thru Amazon Prime, (free shipping).
    Chose this one because its 3/4 hp w variable speed. Its back ordered so that leaves me time to try to find a home in my garage. Thinking of building a table with casters to keep it on.
