Drill Doctor 750X Unit with 3-Pin UK Plug

Product Information

This is described as being sold with a blown plastic case, which would be very useful but unfortunately not true and should be corrected.

Designed for the serious tool user, this professional, easy-to-use system makes it simple to keep a sharp, perfectly angled cutting edge on bits you use often, and it can even be used to put an edge back on broken bits. This durable case offers internal storage space for your Drill Doctor, two chucks, two sharpening wheels, and a storage area for small drill bits or other accessories. I mostly use drills for metal working and turning, and the drills I’ve sharpened so far cut as well as a new drill bit. It does not take long and is not hard, although you do need to be a little careful when reassembling the chuck. Like so much else, with the rampant MBA bozos running everything into the ground, it seems "new and improved" has become nothing but a marketing ploy that really means "we found a way to cut more corners to improve the bottom line, and we want you to pay more too!

I also like the adjustable feature on the 750 that lets you set the amount of metal you take off (M. Not much better than I can do by hand with either a belt grinder or a die grinder with a thin cut-off wheel mounted in it.

A second lever with three positions sets the relief angle for masonry drills, twist drills or for “extra relief.When I got mine on clearance, I started seeing some people talking about the new and better design, made me kinda wish I had paid more for the "new and improved", but heck, mine worked well enough for what I had in it. During each turn the cam on the chuck briefly causes the drill bit to come in contact with the diamond wheel, sharpening the bit. The owner’s manual says that the diamond wheel will last an average of more than 200 sharpenings, and if you don’t sharpen bits bigger than 1/2-inch you can double its life by turning it upside down. You can now add a split point if you want by taking the chuck out of the sharpening port and putting it into the split point port.

Apparently the newer 750X addresses this issue by adding a stop that ensures each side is split equally. When I need to dig for a fresh one, I take an evening when my legs hurt too bad to do anything else, and sit down to bring them all back, points all facing forward again. For larger drill bits such as 9mm and above use 100 grits to sharpen first then use 180 grits to refine for best result.There is nothing more frustrating than starting work on a project only to find that the drill size you need happens to be dull. Works well, probably need a new wheel by now as sometimes I have to free hand more relief on larger drills.

But unlike the relatively straightforward task of sharpening flat blades, sharpening drill bits by hand is a cumbersome and difficult task. That’s probably true, but I am a mostly self-taught home machinist with no one who can show me how to do it. It looks like a chisel point bit at the center of the drill and then progresses into a split point bit. It does take a long time to complete the sharpening of a larger sized bit, but you don't have to stop to go get a new one.
