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 EffectiveJust as easy to use as the heavy-duty Drill Doctor500Xand750Xmodels, 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 BitsThe 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 DurabilityThe 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 manufacturerÆs warranty.What's in the BoxDrill bit sharpener, user guide, and instructional DVD.
