Drill DR.

are theses drill bit sharpners any good, will use non-commercially, just to sharpen 20-30 bits a year???

I honestly don't know. Never tried one.

My dad sharpened his bits on a bench grinder. No jig, nothing. Seemed to be able to do it pretty well. As for me, I don't bother. I buy new bits when I need them. I don't buy the ones at the box stores. Good bits don't come in blister packages. I get mine from an industrial supply.

There was a discussion on this a bit ago, with lots of opinions, most saying they had good results with the tool. Here's a link to the discussion:

Got one for Christmas maybe 7-8 years ago. Works great for me, and probaby sharpen about that many on a year on it. Nice for touching up.

I love mine. The grinding wheel is diamond, so the finish is so smooth and perfect the bits cut as good as, or better than, new.

The DD works OK. I've used one for about a year.

Will the DD sharpen split point bits?

The model 500 and 750 will do split points according to their website.

Certain models sharpen split points as well as turning ordinary drill bits into split points. I think mine is the 750, and sometimes I love it, sometimes I don't. I am personally better using a bench grinder, even the real little bits. I mostly use the DD for getting the nice angles, then try it out, then head to the grinder and make it actually cut.

Mine will do split point bits.

And i LOVE my DD.
