Got one Rob and it's a good gadget. Mine does upto 13mm but they can go larger with bigger collet ( which I forgot to get when on hols in USA - bugger!) :hammer: Really fancy Stevensons magical drill sharpener as demo'ed at Donc by a shifty looking bloke in a jumper :lol: John was showing it off for Arc euro and I recon it's a marvel but wasn't totally sorted at the time. Ketan maybe able to update us on that one? Ian |

Rob: I have one with the collet to go to 1/2 in. (Drill doctor). It works quite well if I do my part and I understand (but have not tried it) that by holding really small drill bits in a pin chuck it will work with smaller bits than advertised. Mine needs another diamond wheel - I found a very basic one missing a few parts but with a new wheel - at a thrift shop recently so just need to change it over. John. |

I have had a Drill Doctor for more than 20 years. I have the collet set for it that will locate a ø3/4 inch drill bit. I do not use it on bits smaller than ø3/32 inch. [I have a "hand guide" set that will take me down to ø.005 inch bits.] The biggest hassle with the Drill Doctor is getting the "fingers" to grab and orient the bit properly -- it often takes me several "tries" to get that right. As I live just north of the factory, getting parts is not an issue for me. |

I've got one, it does a better job than it has any right to do.. I was pleasantly surprised.. As others have said, it struggles on the tiny ones... PK |
