Identifying Basic Drill Bits
The Drill Doctor®is most efficient when used to resharpen a
drill bit’s original point angle.With its standard diamond grind-
ing wheel it will sharpen high-speed steel, cobalt, TiN-coated,
carbide and masonry drill bits.
It has been designed and engineered to sharpen three of the
most common drill bit types:
Standard Point
This general purpose point is used for
drilling softer materials like cold
rolled steel, aluminum, and wood.
Masonry bits have a carbide insert
at the point and are used for drilling
materials like cement, brick, and
ceramic.
Split point bits are self-centering
and are generally used for tempered
steels, hard alloys or hard cast
materials.
Anatomy of a Drill Bit
It is important to understand that
each bit has a Chisel Edge, a Cutting
Edge, and a Heel.
When viewing a well sharpened bit
from the end, the entire surface from
the Cutting Edge to the Heel will have
a finely ground surface without ridges
or indentations. And, the Heel will
always be lower than the Cutting Edge.

The Drill Doctor®Sharpening Process
The sharpening process includes 3 easy procedures:
1. Align the bit in the Chuck.
2. Sharpen the bit.
3. Split the point (if you choose).
Be sure to complete all three of the procedures to sharpen
and split a bit and always sharpen the bit prior to splitting it.
Aligning the Drill Bit
(See page 13 to align and sharpen a Masonry drill bit.)
4.
1. Turn the Chuck Knob to the left
to open the Chuck and Insert
your drill bit into the Chuck
(about halfway in is fine for
now).
Turn the Chuck Knob to the right
to tighten.
Turn the Chuck Knob to the left
just until the bit will slide and
rotate in the Chuck.
With one hand, press in and
hold the Alignment Button on
the Drill Doctor (do not release
until Step 7).

Flat Spots
5.
With your free hand, insert the
Chuck into theAlignment Hole—
make sure the flat spots on the
Chuck match the flat spots in
the hole.
At this point, the Chuck
should be inserted into the
Alignment Hole with the
flat spots hidden, and the
Chuck should be locked in the hole.
6.
8.
9.
With the Alignment Button held
in, push the drill bit forward until
it is against the Drill Stop.
Look at the drill bit through
the Window over the
Alignment Hole—it should be
against the Drill Stop.
Release the Alignment Button.
While looking in the Window,
turn the drill bit to the right until
you feel the Bit Clamps grip
the bit at its narrowest
point (the bit is now difficult
to turn either way).
Turn the Chuck Knob to the right
until it is tight but make sure that
the bit did not turn or the Chuck
did not back out of the Hole.

and remove the Chuck from the
Alignment Hole. Tighten the
Chuck Knob firmly.
You are now ready to sharpen the
drill bit.

Grit Tube Attachment
The grit tube attachment is not critical for the function of the
Drill Doctor; however using it offers the following benefits:
•Extends the life of your Drill Doctor by removing the grit
created when sharpening your drill bits.
•Keeps your Drill Doctor in better operating condition with
less maintenance
•Keeps your work area safe and clean
•Easily attaches to a vacuum to clean your Drill Doctor
Using the Grit Tube Attachment
11.
Insert the ribbed end of the grit tube into the split-point
hole. (The second rib will be flush with the split-point hole).
For Use with Grit Tube Only
•Adjust position of the grit tube
as shown in Illustration A.
•Place the cap on the open end
of the grit tube.
•Sharpen as usual.
•After sharpening, remove cap to
dispose of grit.
For Use with Shop Vac
•Adjust position of the grit tube
as shown in Illustration B.
•Place the 1 1/4" vacuum hose
attachment on the open end of
the grit tube.
•Turn on your vacuum before
sharpening. Sharpen as usual.
•Grit will be suctioned into shop
vac. Dispose of debris as usual.

Sharpening the Drill Bit
Before sharpening you should know:
•Keep the Cam in contact with the Cam Guide as you
sharpen—push the Chuck straight into the hole.
•Only light pressure is required—let the diamond wheel do
its work.
•Turn the Chuck an even number of half-turns:
3/32 inch bits—use 2 to 4 half-turns,
1/8 inch bits—use 4 to 6 half-turns,
3/8 inch bits—use 6 or more half-turns.
•You will hear a grinding noise as you complete each half-
turn and each side of the bit face is ground. (zzzzzzzzz)
•The Chuck will rock as you turn it and the Cam rides on the
Guide.
13.
12.
Insert the Chuck into the
Sharpening Hole.
It will be easier to sharpen the
bit if you stand up.
Align one of the white marks on
the Cam with the Cam Guide,
and push the Power
Switch to the ON (I)
position.
14. Turn the Chuck in complete half-
turns to the right so the white
marks on the Chuck move to the
Cam Guide one after the other.
It is important that your half-
turns be continuous—do not
stop or hesitate in the middle.
