The first thing I would say about the Drill Doctor 750X is that there is a bit of a learning curve. The grit tube stays in the side-mounted split point port when not in use to minimize mess from metal shavings. The split point port uses a “Push to stop” design to prevent you from over splitting the bit. The port is slightly oval shape, allowing for perfect sharpening on the bit wings. The standard sharpening port also uses a unique design where you rotate the bit over the wheel to sharpen the bit. Setting the angle is as simple as turning a knob on the right and shifting the shuttle up or down, then retighten the knob. The standard sharpening port has an angle shuttle that can be set at any angle from 115 to 140 degrees with stops at the standard 118, and 135 degrees. The angle shuttle is also made of cast aluminum for extra durability. There are two ports for sharpening, one for standard sharpening and one for use with split point bits. The drill stop is adjustable, to allow for customize removal, with clamping arms to align the bit properly. The alignment port allows for proper alignment of the bit in the chuck. The chuck includes long jaws for optimum grip, even on small bits. It also can sharpen multiple materials, including Carbide, Cobalt, High-Speed Steel, Black Oxide, and Tin-Coated. The Drill Doctor sharpens standard twist and masonry bits from 3/32″ to 3/4″. The diamond sharpening wheel is pre-installed in the machine and can be replaced when worn. The motor is a magnet motor, providing consistent power even at high speeds or loads. The Drill Doctor also includes a 3-year warranty.Ī 6-foot power cord provides a fair amount of reach to a power source.
The Drill Doctor comes with a carrying case, the machine, a 3/4 inch chuck, a wheel hub wrench as well as a pre-installed diamond sharpening wheel. Today, we will be looking at their current higher-end model, the 750X.

Drill Doctor themselves have been around for a while and are US based, including their manufacturing. Darex specializes in sharpeners for bits, outdoor products, and kitchen knives.

Let’s investigate their solution to sharpening drill bits in the Drill Doctor 750X Review. Well, one option is to use sharpeners, which brings us to the Drill Doctor. If there was a way to extend their life and performance, it would only make sense to try it. If you’re a carpenter or framer or work with concrete your bits can add up quickly, especially if you’re replacing them frequently. I always cringe a bit at the price tag, but I know I am getting a quality product. When starting a bigger project though, I always go and buy the one or two specialty bits I will need so I have no slowdowns. In most cases, I don’t spend a lot on basic bits. A drill is only as good as its bits, that’s for sure. We know sharp drill bits are important, not only do they perform better, but they also put less strain on your drill.
