I have a drill doctor, and it's very good. It's a little problematic for really small bits, but it's great for everything else. I forget which model this is, but I chose this one because it will take 1/2" bits. The 750x, maybe?
Thanks
Another drill doctor user here. After a short learning period, no complaints.
Thanks
I had one and found it to be more effort than it was worth. I gave it way through this forum and I'm happy to have the drawer space back.
I buy bits in bulk packs, sharpening them is not how I want to spend my shop time and the screetch of that thing was horrific.
I toss out the small ones. Anything under maybe 1/4" or so. I was doing a lot of wiring using 12" long 1/2" twist bits, and they were pricey. Hitting nails was unavoidable. The Drill Doctor saved me a ton of dough.
These days I use 1/16 and 5/64 bits, a lot. I wouldn't even consider trying to resharpen them.
Thanks
