The Drill Doctor DD750X drill bit sharpener allows the user to create a custom point angle between 115 degrees and 140 degrees. With this sharpener, the number of relief angle options has been more than doubled, says the company. According to the manufacturer, the device's all-metal core construction increases precision sharpening and splitting of bits. The D750X can sharpen 3/32- to 3/4-inch (2.5- to 19-mm) bits. An adjustable material takeoff feature allows users to change the amount of bit material removed to further extend the life of the bits. A variable alignment feature adjusts to chisel and relief angles. At a high speed, the units sharpen steel, black oxide, carbide, tin-coated, cobalt, and masonry bits. A user-replaceable diamond sharpening wheel is optional.
