I have the same model and really like it. One suggestion - use a black sharpie and coat the bit tip before sharpening it. You can then see that the whole bit was sharpened. Thanks for the video.
I've had my drill dr for almost 2 years and never used it because I didn't know how. I finally used it today thanks to your video! I thank you sir! My snap-on man is not so happy!
YOU HAD THE BEST VIDEO ON THE DRILL DOCTOR 750X. YOU A GOOD TEACHER ON DEMONSTRATIONS IN THE DRILL DOCTOR THANK YOU LT SAYS BAM!! HOPE TO SEE MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS THANKS AGAIN
@Langston Cash I've used the drill doctor for 10 years. It takes a while to learn how to use it it's a sensitive machine. Once you learn how to sharpen the 115deg the 118 deg and the 135deg. Your skill level went up to the next level. It takes time. To do it. Don't give up. It pays off good once you get it. It will put a smile on your face when you graduate from the drill doctor. And you'll get more work done. Have a great day sir. REMEMBER IT'S A PRECISION TOOL SO BE CAREFUL OF IT IT CAN EASILY BE BROKEN IF YOU WORK IT THE RONG WAY. SO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND YOUL GET IT YOUR FRIEND LONNY I'VE BEEN WOOKING IN MY DADS SHOP ALL MY LIFE I HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN THE METAL SHOP PEACE OF MIND WORKS FOR ME
While a particularly good video superfluous information was added. This video should have been under 4 minutes. I would also recommend that he drill two holes one before and one after sharpening to demonstrate the effect.
The chuck positioning is really not well described and I always thought the white mark needed to be aligned with the notches. No wonder all my bits got butchered. Good video
OK, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but following your instructions, and also from several other videos, I just can't seem to get a 135 deg angle. I'm following the steps one by one and it still sharpens them all to a perfect 118 deg. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Frustrating!
Dude! I consider myself a pretty smart guy… BUT you saved me hours of anger and frustration! The instructions for this thing are worse than IKEA… Couldn’t figure out how NOT to screw up my dead bits. Just seemed to make them worse… Now all my bits are nice and sharp! Thank you!!!
On my drill doctor the center fin position is marked as 118, and it has slots to the left with "+" and slots to the right with "-" but in your video you say to go to the right for a 135.
I bought one for my self. Not too happy with it because: Critical chuck areas are not molded very cleanly. Stock diamond wheel is too rough. You cant buy anything above 220 grit. This is especially bad for small bits where 320 is nearly a must have. Otherwise its rather impressive once you figure out how it works.
The eye will pick up if 135 or 118, if still uncertain a tip is to just simply add to standard nuts to each other and the angle you get will be 120 degrees, close enough.
This machine is great for non-splitpoint. However, I could never get it to split the point properly. I see you couldn't either. Anyone know how to make this machine split the point correctly? Or is it not capable?
I can sharpen bigger diameters just with hand pile or using sander, problem are small diameters like 1-2.5 mm which are very often wrongly sharpen from factory and it just doesn't work and this machine can sharpen these little diameters, so I don't need it. 😀 But for some diameters like 4-6 mm it could be usefull, because it's still too small to do it manualy, like it is possible, but not that easy.
@@TheHaloman17 you never use drill bits sideways to elongate a drill hole? I kinda do it all the time. Did it for a water line for dishwasher. Did it for a ethernet cable through the floor into the basement. Would be easier if the edges of the side of bit were sharper
We operate 24 hour/ 7 day per week open community workshop. At the time this video was taken we were open for any members to walk through, we had a mask policy because covid numbers were high, this was also required by city and state regulation for any public gathering space. The video instructor was following our policy.
I got the 750x as a present with excitement. The excitement wore off quickly after 8hrs trying to master the action of the cam rotation against the cutting wheel. I have concluded its a waste of time and drill bits.
Just saying … Some people who are giving him crap for wearing a mask, you do know that if he is sharpening a carbide tipped drill bit then yes you should wear a mask. Carbide tungsten and other metals if inhaled can give you health problems and scar your lungs
I’ve had my drill doctor for years and didn’t use it out of past trying and frustration and one look at this video and presto, success and success, thanks
