I have the one that will sharpen up to 3/4" bits. I like it. It takes a little getting used to at first, but once you figure out the little tricks it only takes seconds to sharpen bits. Most of my initial problems were more than likely operator error than the machine's fault. A set of sharp drill bits is one of the most important tools in the box.

Which one do you have?
The ones i am looking at (drill doctor) only cut up to 1/2 inch bits
They work! As posted there's a learning curve, gotta have some hinky wrist motion... The DD unit is the same, the cheaper one has a 1/2" mandrel while the expensive one does up to 3/4". You can buy the bigger mandrel later if you find you need it.

I have the 750X. That one says it will sharpen bits from 3/32" up to 3/4". Got mine a couple years back as a Black Friday gift to myself.

It's all about the clearance you put on it, don't be afraid to play with it a little lol, there has been one at my shop for years ...unused, just because by the time for sharpening there's 100+ drills to be done , they end up just sending the common ones out to be sharpened... Mike
