   I have spent the last couple night sharpening all my old bits and love this thing. Really does a good job! The only thing is its a bit noisy and the black plastic part you fit the chuck into for sharpening has loosened a bit and rattles when its running and no chuck is in it (like when your splitting points).

   I used this tool extensively for the first time this evening. It performed flawlessly and produced excellent results. The how-to videos could were a little ambiguous on a couple details, but I quickly figured them out. The quality of the product is good and I found its use intuitive. There were a couple deficiencies that I observed during usage. First, the shaving tray is poorly designed. It was difficult to remove and reinstall, not to mention it is very thin, cheap plastic which I will almost certainly break at some point. Secondly, the tray doesn't collect anything really, the material is ejected from the split point port. I found this out the hard way after sharpening a half dozen bits on my dinette table; the wife was not happy. Overall, I still give this product 5 stars as it greatly simplifies bit sharpening and produces consistent results every time.

   I will say that it does require learning how to use it properly. Setting up the actual drill bit for the first time may be a little confusing if you've never used one before. You definitely need to position the drill bits accurately and use the tool correctly to get the grind just right. It took me a few trial runs on some old bits before I got the correct rhythm. Not to say that the instructions aren't detailed because they are abundantly so, perhaps to a fault. I am just more visual so I watched a couple of Youtube videos to figure it out. Once I did I was delighted with how sharp the bits were.

   I would definitely recommend getting a this sharpener, especially to keep your larger and more expensive drill bits sharp. The this sharpener allows you to sharpen a wider variety of bits and gives you far more flexibility in angle grinds than you get with the 500 or lesser Drill Doctor sharpeners and so it is definitely worth spending the extra money. You'll be happy that you did.

   The small bits are the hardest to do (3/32"), while the large pointed drill bits and masonry bits were easy to put a sharp cutting edge back on. used a 60 power loupe to see the edges and have been quite pleased with the results. Will recommend this to others. Ordered the back up grinding wheel due to current availability.

   I have to add my voice to the chorus. I had to pop rivet two pieces of Plexiglas together. I have two 1/8th drills. I tried drilling though a scrap piece and it cracked before the drill started drilling. I ran the drill through the recommended sharpening procedure and the next try produced two nice curly chips and resulted in a clean hole. I should have researched the best drill point angle for plastic first. Maybe next time.
