I brought one recently from MSC as they are on special offer at the moment and for what it is it does a ok job . Mike |

Does it matter which drill doctor? There seems to several models. Is this fine for home shop needs? http://www.drilldoctor.com/drill-doctor-750x.html Does it works right out of the box and "as seen on TV" or should I buy some other bits as well? 2,4 - 19 mm Dia range seems pretty good for me. How long does the abrasive wheel lasts? Should I get another as well? Pekka |

Pekka, One individual over on another website asked about wearing out the wheel prematurely, my curt response was dont be so heavy handed........but he deserved it.... :coffee: To answer your question in a more polite manner, it wouldnt do no harm buying a spare diamond stone for it if you think it will wear out.....I didnt when I bought mine, but I might just do that now.... That said, there isnt a lot of dust produced from touching up drills...... Good luck with your purchase... :beer: |

I've also read that the wheel can be turned around (it's a small cylinder) so as to use the other end if it has been used for small drill bits for most of it's life. The larger bits use up more of the area on the diamond wheel so preclude doing this. I'll take a look at mine later today and report back. John. |

I've used one - biggest disappointment for me was how fiddly setting drill in position can be. As Lew mentioned it can take a number of attempts. Much easier to set for slightly larger drills. It is perhaps better than my old Martek, but not hugely so. |
