the drill doctor

[avbill]

After 4-6 years of drill pen blank; wood, plastic, acrylic, tru-stone and M3 I think I might need to sharpener my drill bits.


What do you fellow turners think of the drill doctor? I would need the #750 model as I use a lot of 31/64 to 37/64 drills bits.


Any and all comments please!

I have one, and it works great for sharpening my bits after drilling through Tru-stone. It doesn't form a perfect chisel tip, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

Mine only sharpens standard bits. I'm not sure if they have advanced versions that can do brad-pointed bits.

Just ordered one. My bits couldn't be in worse shape after using it than they are now!

Like mine a lot.

I have had one for a long time also, it works great. My Dad was a machinist and had two or three small boxes of drill bits. Most were in nasty shape. The Drill Dr and a wire wheel made almost all of them like new.

They work well. If you want to try one out give me a call and you can come over. Bring a few drill bits.
