How do you sharpen your drill bits, or do you just buy more when they get blunt? I was once thinking of buying a Drill Doctor, but soon gave up on the idea as the cost was a little silly for the amount of sharpening i do... :whistling:

I now use my pro edge for sharpening them, i don't do them perfect but i can get extra life out of them before i replace them .. .:bwink:

I could't afford a Drill doctor, I saw this at wood show in Adelaide and bought it, it will do both normal and masonry drill bits plus a lot of other thing like brag points, spade bits etc. Made in UK I am happy with it.
I later picked up another one at a lawn sale, So mounted them both on this board.
