My day in the shop

The one I have is an older one, does not have a number that I found, but is one of the smaller ones I think. 1/2 inch is pushing it
 
I was lucky and got a drill doctor set at auction last weekend. Can't wait to give it a try, now that I hear you all like them too..
 
I had 2 at one time. Gave one to someone on here for next to nothing. I think I only charged shipping. I forget. The one I have now came in a case with extra diamond wheel. Haven't used that one yet.
 
Mine was brand new latest model #500 up to 1/2". only got delivered a few days ago, spent a couple of hours sharpening all my drills, up to 1/2"13mm. So impressed I'm going to get the extra chuck to go up to 3/4". Sharpening is very quick and accurate.
 
DD 750X. I like it a lot.
 
Just bought a 750 based on the testimonials here. Looks great and already sharpened a couple of bits. Falling off a log easy.

I use an older drill doctor that resembles the shape of a tombstone DD700 with two collets (3/32"-1/2" and 1/2"-3/4"). It can sharpen 118, 135 degrees and masonry bits. I really like the split point feature. Have had this for well over a decade and have replaced the diamond wheel once. The diamond wheel can be flipped once prior to replacing it all together.
Fast and easy without the heating up the bit.

I have one like that and use it all the time. Probably had it going on 20 years The split point feature is really nice to have.

Thats the same one I have. I use to sharpen bits by hand with good results, but this baby makes them better than new. There is a "feel" when using this tool, for the guys that don't like em, try it again. If you want to get years of service out of the collets and tool, blow them out often with shop air, keep the abrasive grit from the plastic contact points.
 
I have a Darex v-190 drill sharpener and a Darex E-90 end mill sharpener. Both great machines.

Darex is just down the road from me. They invited me in to show me how to run the end mill sharpener. Gave me a plant tour and spent about an hour with me on the end mill sharpener. The drill sharpener is a breeze, the end mill machine....not so much.

Great people and a great company.
