Just to add to the topic.. Any one ever used a Drill Doctor?? I own one it is one of the best purchases (tools) I have ever made.. I have bought old dull Dormer drill bits from the used tool place for cheap, and then sharpen them up like new... You cannot get as good or as even a sharpening job buy hand... They are a bit pricey $90-$200 depending on the model, but money well spent if you use drill bits...
