That's what I've read repeatedly, Gerry. Various little problems, but
overall, a somewhat useable machine.
But if it only sharpens some sizes consistenly, that reduces the number of
different fastener sizes that one needs to buy.
I suspect that some of the problems are a result of too much plastic being
used to make them.

I have used mine to sharpen drills from 3/32 up to 3/4" with fully
satisfactory results. It's just the point splitting that bothers me.
