I've had VERY good results with my drill doctor, it took a small learning curve, and after that, I've been able to make my drill bits as good as new again...

Always wanted a Tormek with a drill bit attachment. On my bucket list but dang pricey.
Drill Bit Sharpening Attachment DBS-22 - YouTube
I've watched a number of videos and read articles on drill bit sharpening and attempt to sharpen my dull bits accordingly. They seldom, if ever cut as well as they did when new but usually cut better than they did before I tried to sharpen them. I sharpen the bits on the fine grit stone of an 8 inch HF grinder and dress the wheels with a wheel dressing stick. Thanks to that stick the grinding wheels are now more like 5 inches. Before getting the drill press I made most of my large holes with a cutting torch. I'm awful with a cutting torch.![]()
