These companies make electromagnets in various sizes. Shouldn't be too hard to find one that has the holding capacity you need and fab up a way to attach a drill. Note the power requirements, you'll

I tried the scary sharp method, found it time-consuming. Not a bad method if you're just touching up a reasonably well-kept chisel or plane iron. In my case I had some vintage early-1900's Stanley pl

Temporary spares have treadwear bars just like regular tires. You can use them until the tread is gone. I think the 50mph/50mile limit is there for a couple of reasons. The temps are smaller, so they
