   I am a previous owner of a drill doctor. My drill doctor lasted eight years and I was the base model... I’ve sharpened my bit dozens of times and every time I sharpen them they are restored to a original factory point... I haven’t bought drill bits since the purchase of my first drill doctor. And now I have a version better then the original one I owned... so if I do buy any more drill bits it’ll be because I just wanted to use the othe capabilities of this upgraded model I now find in my possession... thanks to my drill doctor I’ve saved hundreds if not thousands in the fact I haven’t bought bits in years by comparison to my friends who buy them on basically a weekly basis...

   I've been sharpening bits with my bench grinder for over 50 years with success. Though that success was not effortless and as you would know, that didn't come without a great amount of trial and error. This Drill Doctor makes it much easier to do, both for mechanics and newbies, no re-grinding/trial and error when bits wear down, the cut points and angles change plus, they cut the first time and much better.

   I purchased the this sharpener and started using it right out of the box. I watched a few videos before it arrived and thought I was ready to get started. I don't recommend that. Wait to watch the videos until you have the sharpener unboxed. The process will make more sense. I have sharpened both 118 and 135 degree bits of all sizes. Most of them took less than a minute to go from dull to like new again! Much better than buying a new bit or set of bits. I whish I would have bought this years ago. I would have saved so much money. It is very easy to use and once you get the hang of it, I am sure you'll be very happy.

   This unit pretty much paid for itself the 1st day I had it. I've had a bin of dull drill bits that I have accumulated over the years that I was able to quickly and easily sharpen to as good as new condition in a few hours. There is also the convenience factor. Seemed like every time I need a bit to drill through steel plate I would have to run to a store and buy one as all of mine were dull. With 3 adult sons using them it is hard to keep track of when one goes dull. Now I can pop it in this device and have a like new bit in a few short minutes. Would not hesitate to buy again and only sorry I waited so long to get this.

   Arrived this afternoon and I just spent a couple hours getting to know the machine and sharpening a couple dozen of my 50 year accumulation of dulled drill bits. Fortunately I never threw many of them out. The drill doctor works quickly and restores them to near new condition- some are even better than new. Even split points come out OK if you are careful. This is one of those tools you put off buying knowing in the long run you are wasting time and money not owning one. Sure enough, I can see right away this is going to save hours of frustration and trips to the store. A nice touch would be if they included a magnifier in the package.

   I do 99% metal fab but I have found that 118* tips with the bit all the way over in the + side when you align the bit works best. I did a bunch of bits at 118* with the alignment in the middle position and they didn't seem to drill that great on steel. After aligning the bit all the way to the left + side, the bits really bite in and work great! Be prepared to sharpen, reset alignment, sharpen, reset alignment, sharpen, reset alignment on new bits so the whole face gets sharpened. A sharpie marker coloring the face shows you what has been grinded and what hasn't.
