Which Drill Doctor

[larrystephens]

I want to sharpen the drills I use for pens and went to Amazon and was presented with a number of different doctors. Do I want a real Drill Doctor? If so, which one?

If you can afford it -- -the 750 will do larger bits with a few more options.

If you have a Tormek, you might want to look at the sharpening jig sold for that unit. I hear good things about precision and quality of sharpening it provides (high cost unit but high precision I am told).

What type are you sharpening, brad point or standard tip, HSS or carbide? That will tell you if you can even use a Drill Doctor, or not. I have always liked the 750, because of its capacity.

I have the 500, but if I was buying today, I'd get the 750. We give away a 750 every year during the Bash, and it always seems to be enjoyed.

I got the 750 when I got mine and haven't regretted it one bit. Pun may or may not have been intended.

750 given the additional capacity.

Thanks for the great help. I figured the 750 was the one but wanted to make sure.
