I have used a B&D drill sharpener from like 30 years ago. Did a good job - thru trial and error - on sharpening drills. You could mess them up royally if you were not careful.
Is the Drill Doctor any good / better ? I notice the 500 model is capable of doing both 118 and 135º angles.
I read that the diamond wheel is only good for 500 shaprenings - who's counting .
We hear about how durable diamond is. I would have imagined the Drill Doctor wheel would last far longer than the carborundum wheel in my ancient B&D unit from 30 years ago.
500 ( approx.) grinds does not seem like much for a DIAMOND wheel on HSS drill bits.
Is there a slight learning curve to using this unit to get the correct angles ? I would think YES.
Comments ?
TIA
