Drill sharpener
PekkaNF:
Twist drills are generally with two flutes, alhough I would prefer three sometimes...
Endmills/slotdrills come in may varieties

Googling that finds some flame wars. Entertaining reading, but make your own popcorns first.

There will always be flame wars is someone has to spend more than 17/6d :palm:
Long - short was that Ketan sold out of the initial shipment of 50 units in 4 weeks. That answers it's own question

Well, it has fixtures and all mating surfaces are metal. It looks like it should work. Probably a decent drill sharpener would look like that and cost close to that too.
Problem is that most of the people in home hobby environment don't use that many drills/endmills in few years to make it purely economically justified.
Although, sometimes in my weak moments I wish I had something like that, although I now that local sharpener will sharpen my fistfull of over 10 mm endmills between orders in couple of days and it's cheaper.....but.
Drills, small ones are hard to sharpen no matter what, under 10 mm normal HSS I can't justify, but morse taper drills would be really nice to sharpen without resorting to freehand job.
Still, I have a can where I collect dull/broken drills and endmills. Maybe one day. Untill then I just need to have more sharp tools.
