I have more blunt drill bits than I know what to do with> Ive read plenty about sharpenig them but I can't get it right.:no::no:
What experience have people had of the new Drill Doctor or similar machines and what do you think of it/them?

Gday artme, this (http://www.woodworkforums.com/showthread.php?t=63891&highlight=drill+sharpening)is the method I use now, highly recommended. Simple & easy.

Edit: some on Drill Doctor here (http://www.woodworkforums.com/showthread.php?t=14513&highlight=doctor) here (http://www.woodworkforums.com/showthread.php?t=56356&highlight=doctor) & here (http://www.woodworkforums.com/showthread.php?t=61443&highlight=drill+%2B+doctor).

I use a drill doctor and freehand. Drill doctor if doing a few, freehand to touch up a single bit to finish a job.

Drill doctor is great for those who cant sharpen by hand or to finish a sharpening by hand + its fast + idiot proof.
