Actually a Drill Doctor does the job very very quickly compared to the
Tomek set up and for about half the price.

A lot less than half.

That would depend on the model you get. *Mine was around $100 but It was
not
the top of the line model, and now they have one that does spade bits.

Do they have one for brad point or forstner bits yet?

Nope not yet.

I guess I'll just have to waste a whole minute per bit with a file.

The less time spent, the better. File the fronts of the ramps,
and no more. Wreck the relief, and she won't feed. So
much as touch the outside surface of a Forstner with a
file, and you can trust the bit to jam every time.

One exception is the 1-1/2" Forstner whose rim I cut saw
teeth into with a triangular file. Due to bad machining,
the trailing edge of the rim was lower than the ramp. Took
all my weight on the drill press to get it to cut. The saw
teeth broke up the rim and made the bit feed much
more easily.
