$50 buys a lot of drill bits, especially 1/4" and smaller.


Priced 'em lately? 1/4" brad point (DeWalt - what Lowes had) - $4.

Makes if very difficult to justify a Drill Doctor.

Hand sharpening drill bits is like learning to ride a bicycle.

Learning is a total PITA, but once you learn, you don't forget.

Try finding a shop course offered by an adult ed program thru local
high school to learn this skill.
