its good to hear all the positive words about the drill doctor cause i have been wanting to get one.
i was a machinist for 9 years and i was taught how to sharpen bits by hand and also on the new bit sharpener.
i cant remember what brand/model it was but it was a sweet machine (big & spendy) and it worked like a charm.
we also had a larger war-era machine that did the big bits 2 inches and bigger.
but since i dont work there any more i have been wanting to know if the drill doctor works well, it looks like such
a small little unit? but from the good words here i think i will have to get one to try out.

You won't be sorry with the Drill Dr. It's a matter of a minute or two and the bit is sharp and ready to go. And not real pricey!
