Darex M2 vs Darex SP2500
 

I cleaned the crud off of the Darex sharpener that followed me home
today. To say that it was dirty would be to say nothing. All that
stuff lived in a grinding shop, sat on a shelf, and has years of
sediment accumulating.

Anyway, after cleaning, it turned out to be a model SP2500. Looks
very much like this:

Currently I have a Darex M2:

My question is, which one is better for general purpose hobby use. I
want to keep the better one and dump the less good one.

thanks

The 2500 by far. But! Check the wheels on both and see which is the
best.

I'd vote for the darex. I have the same unit and its quick 'n easy to
sharpen up to 3/4. I've not used a 2500.

I think..think they use the same wheel in both.

What Id do if I were you..is set them both up and have a go at
sharpening drill bits of all sizes. Whichever one Feels and Works the
best FOR YOU...is the one you keep.
