It beats throwing out dull or broken bits and having to go to the Hardware store.<G>The cost of new bits is getting worse everyday. Of course, special bits are special bits and are oft-times the only thing that will do the job. A good example is Forstner Bits, which are a BEAR to sharpen, but can only be done by hand. The Drill Doctor has it's limitations, as I said, but it's much faster when one is in the heat of a project.<G> It would be nice if it would do a #56 bit or a Forstner or a brad point, but it doesn't. It will do two angles and has a "split point" capability, (of which, I've found no advantage.) Joe Garrett, R.P.T. (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares R I > [Original Message] > From: William R.
