   Hi,

   I have a "Drill Doctor" and absolutely love it!!  I had scores of bits that would not cut before I got it and now I have none.  It's easy to use, will do HS and cobalt bits (uses two different angles)and sets up/stores in a few seconds.  I got the largest model they had at the time.  Will do bits up to 3/4".

   One of the best tool investments I ever made (in the top ten for sure LOL).

    

   Regards,

   Mack

   The "Drill Doctor" actually works as advertised. You won't be disappointed.

   I've gone through 4 or 5 different drill sharpeners over the past 35 years. The Drill Doctor beats them all, hands down. So... Vote #3 for the Drill doctor. I have the 400XP. It doesn't do split point or brad point drills, but works absolutely fine on the standard drills. I do a lot of metal work, so my drills get a real workout.

   One thing I especially appreciate is that you can leave it in the box for a year, set it up and go "oh that's right, this is how it works" and you're right back sharpening bits.  Incredibly simple and effective machine.

   I'll second the drill doctor. I have an older version 350# for home shops. Will sharpen high speed drills from 1/2" down to 1/8". I use a lot of very small drills, the drill doctor is hit and miss on the drills less than 1/8". Fortunately the smaller drills are less expensive, I rarely try to sharpen them,just buy new ones.

   I'll 3rd, 4th, and 5th that on the Drill Doctor.  Works great.

   I know that mine will NOT.  I went to their website when this thread started to see if a new model would do so but it appears not.
