    Default Sharpening drill bits

    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.
    What experience have people had of the new Drill Doctor or similar machines and what do you think of it/them?

    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.
