Drill Doctor?

01/04/2015


From original questioner:

Im looking to maybe sharpen some brad point bits that have gone dull.

Is it worth spending a few bucks on a product like Drill Doctor to sharpen them or waste of money?

I have one and love it, unless they have come out with a new model, they wont sharpen brad point drills.

The Complete Guide to Sharpening by Leonard Lee will teach you how to sharpen anything.

You use small needle files and diamond files for brad points.

Drill doctor is basically a pencil sharpener, works on twist bits but not brad point or spade bits.

It's a little more than a pencil sharpener as it grinds a "developed tip" They work great but don't do a brad point. I send those to my saw person and they do it.
