Sharp Tools Perform Better and are Safer to Use
A dull drill bit means jobs take longer, and it can result in lower-quality work, damaged work materials, and shortened drill life. But unlike the relatively straightforward task of sharpening flat blades, sharpening drill bits by hand is a difficult and cumbersome task. This is what makes the intuitive, easy-to-use Drill Doctor sharpener so useful.Two Easy Steps Ensure Bits are Sharp and Effective
Just as easy to use as the heavy-duty Drill Doctor 500X and 750X models, the 350X offers on-chuck alignment. This eliminates the need for an alignment port and simplifies the sharpening process, making the 350X a perfect choice for home workshops. You simply secure the bit and turn the chuck an even number of half turns to achieve a perfect 118-degree angle. As you sharpen, the tool's V-block jaws hold the bit precisely in place and ensure that you don't have to worry about jaw twisting, even when working with small bits. This secure alignment system ensures that you maintain accurate bit geometry and don't damage the integrity of your tools. Engineered for Versatility in Handling Popular Bits
The same chuck can be used to sharpen popular bit sizes ranging from 3/32- to 1/2-inch. The Drill Doctor 350X works with a wide variety of bit types used in wood and light metal work, including high-speed steel, carbide, masonry, and TiN-coated bits. And with a low, ergonomic profile design, the 350X is comfortable to work with. Its excellent stability means that it won't "walk" away from you, even when you're working with large, tough-to-sharpen bits. Professional Design and Construction for Durability
The Drill Doctor uses an industrial-strength diamond sharpening wheel that won't change shape over time, and a cool design that means bits don't heat up and lose their tempering as you sharpen them. This wheel can be easily replaced, so you don't incur any maintenance fees. And with each wheel good for about 200 sharpenings, you'll appreciate how infrequently you'll need to replace it. Behind the smooth operation of this wheel is a permanent magnet motor, which produces consistent power regardless of speed or load, and helps you achieve sharp bits that are easy to work with. The Drill Doctor 350X is backed by a three-year manufacturerAes warranty. What's in the Box
Drill bit sharpener, user guide, and instructional DVD.

 Good tool Fair price April 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a simple to use tool, with easy to understand instructions. Probably written by someone who speaks and writes English as a first language. My drill bits were in fairly good shape, so it took only seconds to sharpen each bit to precision. This is a must have tool. I only wish they would come out with one that sharpens spade bits.
Pays for itself. February 13, 2008

If you do handy man stuff, this thing can stop a one hour job from turning into a half day trip to the store. Well worth the money.
Does what it says.. February 8, 2008
The 350X works well. It gives your drill bits that edge to dig into the metal after you sharpen them.
I will be getting a lefty sharpener because sharpened bits would rock on the lefty's.
Excellent results on the first try. January 27, 2008
I read some of the other reviews here about the learning curve. So before I even plugged my Drill Dr. in, I watched the 5-10 minute DVD that came with it (I suggest you review the alignment steps a couple of times). I then walked out into the garage and sharpened a standard bit on the first try with perfect results. Feeling encouraged, I whipped out a masonry bit and sharpened it on the first try too.
Fifty bucks buys a lot of drill bits, but I hate having to run to the hardware store in the middle of a project (and my wife really hates it when I nag her to go for me). This little tool has a permanent home in my shop.
Excellent present for Dad December 28, 2007

I bought this item as a Christmas present for my father. He was very excited to receive it, and started sharpening all his drill bits that morning (not exactly my idea of a good time, but if it's yours, I say go for it!). He seemed very pleased with the quality of the product, so I'd recommend it to other drill enthusiasts out there.
My only caution for gift givers is that since it comes from a third-party vendor, it's mailed in the original box (not the plain Amazon box). If you don't want to ruin the surprise, I'd recommend either arranging for someone to intercept it, or sending it to yourself to wrap.
