So, I've had the Tormek T8 and have been sharpening everything in my house and shop with an edge, and have had fantastic results---the best of any system I've ever used. Then I saw my Milwaukee cobalt drill bits that I've used so much over the years and have become so dull that I couldn't drill a hole in a wet paper bag. I've already sharpened that set of drills, and now they are so sharp that it's unbelievable! I'll say that this jig is a little complicated to use, but it's a very small learning curve and everything you need from setting the depth of the bit in the holder, to measuring the bit angle are all on the jig itself. These Swedish designers think of everything with brilliant (and I rarely use that word) design and engineering of all their products. This includes the magnifier to help you see smaller bits and the template to set the distance from the stone and angle of the base. Even the magnifier has an adjustment so you can dial it in to your exact vision.I just use the original grindstone for the drill bits--I do have the Blackstone Silicone grinding wheel but really only use that for my kitchen and hunting knives. This jig has completely rejuvenated all my drill bits (including the masonry bits) and now they will cut through even hard steel like a hot knife through butter. This jig isn't cheap, but when you pick up the box that it comes in, you'll feel how heavy the box is and what high quality it is, and that it's worth every penny. The drill bit sets I've sharpened have already paid for this jig. I've tried the high-end Drill Doctor, and this system gives much better results.

RTM (read the freakin’ manual) or you’re going to struggle. Pick it up and familiarise yourself with the jig look at the clear pictures and it’s easy to useThe manual is clear, follow it step by step and the sharpening is executed and done with ease, I started with a chunky drill that had bad geometry and in two minutes I had edge one perfect, the second took longer to develop as there was more material to remove. I went a bit overboard and needed to reset the primary a little, 4 or 5 minutes and following the manual I had a perfect drill.overall I can say this is top kit and like other Tormek jigs is well made.Price? Top level, pro machine shop drill grinders are 10 times the cost of this jig, it has limits on size but that said I think it’s value for money as it’ll last more than a lifetime and decent twist drills are not cheap enough to be a throwaway item.
