Just checked to see if reversing the diamond drum would work. My drill doctor is the 500 - so good up to 1/2in bits. Both a 1/4 and 1/2 in. bit reach to the rear of the sharpening drum so reversing it should work. Mine needs a change although visually it looks good compared to the new drum. Feeling it reveals that it is now very smooth at the back and less so near the front. It's not easy to see however this is a 1/4 in. drill bit reaching near the back of the drum - this is similar whether set up for 118 deg. or 135 deg. Have any of you used it for split pointing bits? I've never tried that and would have to look at the instructions to see how. John. |

Splitting points goes by feel, take it easy. If there is not enough clearance on Your drill bits, just turn the bit clockwise when looking at the cutting end of the drill bit, hope I have the direction right as I am not in front of the machine and am ASSUMING My memory is correct. |

Slight hickup....found good prices including P&P and all....but they were US half vlotage models...european 230VAC/50Hz models seem to be somewhere 270€ and over 300€ in Finnish shops. At that price point it does not make sense. Few amazon searces more, but it looks like I'm going to ditch it. I thought there finally would be a touch up tool to keep all drills sharp. Pekka |

Pekka I got mine on holiday in USA and got a 110 v converter for it. Most work sites in uk run on 110v so they're available, mates in Denmark use 110 volt stuff so must be available on continent. Wish I'd got the bigger collet as getting one here's a problem. Meant to buy one in states but forgot! I got the 750 model. Did get a spare wheel but must try to be less heavy handed as there is a tendancy to push the collet into the machine when using it ( might just be me though!). Ian |

Evening Lads Thank you for all the comments and advice :thumbup: , mmmmmmmmmm maybe I should just bulk buy the smaller sizes and just bin the bit once dull , it just seams a bit waist full . I will think on it . Thanks Rob |
