Drill Doctor DD350X Drill Bit Sharpener

wow this tool is great! It is really easy to use it sharpens the bits fast and really sharp too. This is my second one BTW, It is not the best in durability as the first one lasted about 1 year and then the chuck cam was wore out, Probably due to my Ogre strength I was a bit harder on it than I am on this one because of the plastic used to make it. Not sure how long I will get but I am sure longer than 1 year. I do not recommend a heaver ogre hand like mine (come to find out) all you need is a genital hand and soft touch. Just a few turns as well not like I was doing. I found out that 4 turns and my bit was sharp as the day it was new. I wish I had money to get the top of there line one but this one is really good. I was able to do all these bits in about 1 hour and they are very sharp! OH BTW that was a one handed hole I drilled in that piece of scrap while taking the video. And it went through that like a hot knife through butter!

This is the best machine for drill bits and easy to use. I had tossed dull bits in the past but the Drill Doctor is saving me Money.

Works great and does what it says it will do. Much easier to use instead of a bench grinder.

I unboxed and read all the directions! Then proceeded to sharpen 3 sets of drill bits and can’t believe how sharp they are. First on went through a 1/8” broken bolt like a hot knife through butter.

It does the job

Excelente producto.

Sharpener takes a few tries to get the hang of but the instructions are thourough enough. The drill bits I sharpened were heavy-duty metal cutting bits though, and no matter how much I tried, they were never sharpened enough to cut metal again. They did fine with wood, but metal just smoked them as if they had never been resharpened at all. Plus the chuck/“alignment fingers” system doesn’t work with quick-change impact bits smaller than 1/4”, since the chuck maxes out on the quick-change shank before the fingers can tighten around the tip of the bit. If you’re a woodworker interested in keeping drill bits out of landfills, this is a fine device. If you’re a contractor interested in saving money, you’re better off just buying new bits.

Works great sharpened all my bits when it came in.

Excelente equipo, la verdad no tenia muchas espectativas pero me ha sorprendido lo sencillo que se vuelve afilar brocas. Fue un regalo de cumpleaños para mi padre y le gusto bastante, hizo la prueba enseguida. En casa las brocas se han afilado siempre a pulso con esmeril de banco y mucha paciencia, pero es tedioso para mi padre a sus casi 80 años, solo afilaba la que requeria en ese momento. Pero con el drill doctor en un par de dias revivio mas de 30 brocas que tenia guardadas y daba por muertas en batalla. Las instrucciones son algo confusas, pero es mas simple de lo que parece, colocas la broca en el broquero, ajustas lo suficiente para que quede fija pero pueda girarse dentro del broquero, luego giras un poco la broca en el sentido de perforacion que es en el sentido del reloj, esto para alinearla con las guias metalicas del broquero, despues coloca el broquero en el drill doctor alineando el triangulo con la parte superior y presiona solo un poco para que la broca retroceda y va a quedar en posicion para afilado, finalmente ajusta el broquero para que no se deslice la broca y sin apenas ejercer presion realiza un par de pasadas de I a II en sentido del reloj y comprueba, repite un par de veces y quedara lista. Si el angulo de la broca es muy cerrado o si esta rota, mejor pasarla primero en el esmeril de banco o en la mini amoladora para abrir el angulo lo mas cerca a 180 grados y tarde menos en afilarla, de lo contrario tardara mucho en desbastar hasta llegar al angulo deseado.

First attempt sort of worked- but bit was slow and terrible at drilling but better than it had been. Second attempt at sharpening the same bit and I was a bit more assertive handling the drill doctor chuck (not rough or harsh though) and the bit ended up really sharp and better than new.

Hss sharpener

Me gusto mucho el producto.... es facil de usar y cumple con lo que se publica.... saca punta a las brocas...

It doesn't work on standard UK 240v power outlets. I'm sure the product runs fantastic in theory BUT if you're in the UK and planning on using it from your mains socket, it won't work. Plug it in and look forward to the fireworks.
