Has anyone used a drill doctor? I have alot of bits that have gone dull or broken and just to replace them would cost me the price of one of these things. What do you guys do?

before I was a tool and die maker years(YEARS) ago I worked for a company
which was owned by White Consolidated, at about 22 I worked the night shift
and we had to learn how to do our own tool sharpening because the
tool crib was only open the first shift. the belt grinder
is the Cats A$$ for this.
Roy if you can make knives and make both sides concentric ( which you do now)
you can sharpen drill bitsknow more then a little practice buddy.

I've had a Drill Doctor for 2 years now, and it paid for itself the first day! I'm on my second diamond wheel, but otherwise it has been a breeze to use, and a dream to own.
Enco has them as does Amazon. I got the 750 which came in a case with extras such as a left hand bit holder, and video on how to use it. The base model, I believe requires a drill for a power source, and the quality of the cutting wheel isn't as high as the rest of the models which have their own power source. After the initial step, I believe the primary choices involve the size of drills you can sharpen. 500 is up to 1/2 inch, 750 will do 3/4 inch.Originally posted by John Frankl
I've also been thinking about getting one.
What model offers a good balance of price and performance?
