[TheForge] Drill Doctor

[Jay Hayes]

Roger,

I have had a Drill Doctor for several years. I too went for the bigger 
kit that allows me to sharpen up to 3/4 inch drills. All and all I am 
very pleased with  it. If you are not careful in setting up the drill in 
the collet you can get a bad grind, but if you follow the directions 
given in the video it is a snap to get it right.  I can do a  pretty 
fair job of sharpening drills by hand, but I could never do a split 
point as well as the Drill Doctor can. It is a slick little tool for the 
money. Mom's only complaint would have been that it doesn't sharpen her 
knives and scissors too.
