Instead of throwing away old, dull bits, give them a checkup with the Drill Doctor and extend their life. Although drill-bit sharpening systems often fail to live up to our expectations, we're here to bear witness for the truth of the Drill Doctor's claims: it really does sharpen old bits in just a couple of minutes. The 750SP (also known as the Professional) works on conventional, split-point, and masonry bits from 3/32 to 3/4 inches in size. If you don't plan on sharpening anything larger than 1/2-inch bits, we recommend getting the 500SP instead; it's basically the same machine, minus the cost of the 3/4-inch chuck that comes with this model. Both models--the 500SP and the Professional 750SP--allow you to choose between a 118- and 135-degree sharpening angle. Operation is fairly simple, but to make sure no one has trouble figuring it out, the Drill Doctor comes with a how-to video. Anyone who frequently wears down drill bits is going to appreciate the savings this handy machine can offer. Using sharp bits instead of dull ones also increases the life of your drill, because sharper bits require less work to make the same hole. We only wish we'd found the Drill Doctor sooner. --Brian Trinen

Drill Doctor DD750PK Precision Drill Bit Sharpener reviews by customers
 Undreal!
Sharp bits? What's the point? I really thought that buying the drill doctor was a luxury purchase, that is until I received and started using it. I had no idea what the difference was between sharp and dull bits, and when I had a really dull bit, I was forced to use the next larger size.I am a convert! Having access to sharp bits is not a luxury, it is a necessity. The drill doctor seems complicated to use, until you use it a couple of times. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't start by sharpening all of my bits, I use it only when I need it. It takes about 2 minutes from opening the box to putting it back, and I get to use a sharp bit! Don't think twice about it, just get a sharpener and decide for yourself if it was worth the money.
Give a man a new hammer and everything looks like a nail..
One of the best products I've found in a long time.. Very easy to set up and it does such a quick job that after you get all your bits sharpened you want to out and dull some so you can do it again!! The drill doctor is very easy to set up and use.. a little technique sensitive on small (less than 1/8 inch), short (contractor length) bits but very forgiving of mistakes. Just rechuck and resharpen. Small bits are a bit tough to set up, but as cheap as they are, I don't think I will bother. The big value is in the larger sizes that are more expensive. My biggest dissapointment was expected wheel life, 200 sharpenings - more or less. At $20 a wheel that figures out to ten cents a sharpening without amortizing the cost of the unit. The book says you can invert the wheel wheel when it gets dull but that still is 5 cents per sharpening plus time. On the other hand, I have converted relative inexpensive 118 degree standard bits into 135 degree split bits in a matter of minutes.
Botom line though, is, this is a product that fills a need very well and is very easy to use.
 Drill Doctor DD750PK Precision Drill Bit Sharpene
There are many good things about this product. When I called tech support with a problem (chuck sticking), I got a human being with a knowledgable answer (loosen a few overtorqued screws) in a matter of minutes. On standard drill bits, it works very well. However, I got it mostly to sharpen hex-base drill bits, as I use these drill bits with a quick-change chuck all the time. And I basically destroyed several bits (well, they were dull anyway) finding out that the chuck supplied with this unit simply can't get a proper grip on hex-base drill bits. They will be out of alignment, which means it won't work, at all. You just grind off random bits of your drill bit at random angles, resulting in a useless bit. Well, I _was_ able to sharpen a few of the bigger hex bits, but the 1/16", 1/8", and 3/16" bits were trashed. So for my main use--sharpening hex-base bits--this fails pretty badly. If I'd known this, I wouldn't have gotten it. (Of course none of the marketing information or tech support information mentions this--if they did, they might lose some sales.) So I'll keep it, but quite disappointed. And no, tech support didn't have any suggestions for how to fix the problem. So, if you want to sharpen small hex bits, give this a pass. If you don't use hex bits, it is a good deal. And the video they supply is excellent for teaching you how to use it. Your mileage may vary.
