Is the Drill Doctor worth the money? What drill tips can you sharpen with it, and what tips cannot be used with it?
Thanks in advance,
William

I got one as a gift and love it. Never a dull bit anymore. Here is the link to drill doctor, should specify what type of bits you can do.

I would have never bought one, now I would never be without one. It's worth it.

You can't sharpen brad point bits with it.
I got one for Christmas a couple of years ago and it paid for itself the first time I used it.
There are a number of models.one runs off a drill.I would stay away from that one.
THere's one that sells for around 70 -80 dollars.That one works well but to change out the wheel it has to be sent back to the company.
What impressed me about the company is they will exchange the units for an upgrade to other units.
The wheels are around $20.00.Their refurb program is $39.95, and that includes shipping back to you and a new warranty.
The more expensive units have user friendly sharpening wheels.
A lot of woodworkers say they can sharpen a drill but by eye,that may be true but I don't see how.
After using the DD there is a rocking action to the process and I have never seen anyone do that when they sharpen a bit.
The larger units also do a split bit, two drill bit angles and masonry bits.
