HF drill bit sharpener

[bjackman]

Anyone have any experience with this unit?
It's on sale now for ~$20.
Although it will only sharpen to 25/64 I think, would it be worth the money as a cheap alternative to a Drill Dr?

works good for all of my normal drill bits ... it will not do bradpoint bits (or *I* do not know how it is supposed to be used on them)

My boss bought one of those, and they are crap it sits in the corner to be never used again. All it does is shorten the drill bit, I could never get it to sharpen one.He replaced it with the DD 250.

I have a Drill Doc and it has saved me more than a few times. Didn't have to run up and buy a new bit. Versatile, simple and quick.
