Tormek Drill Bit Attachment


Found this in my email a few days ago from Sharp Tools USA. Piqued my
interest so I followed the link to Jeff Farris' website. Got a look at
the price of this attachment. $254.95. Talk about sticker shock.
I'm not predicting a lot of these will be sold.


"The new DBS-22 Drill Bit Sharpening Attachment works with any size
twist drill, from 1/8" to 7/8", fractional or metric. Follow the
simple, well-documented directions to create a grind that resists
walking, cuts cleanly and works better in most materials than a
traditional flat grind. You can choose the optimum drill angle and
clearance angle, based on what material the drill will be used to cut.
The DBS-22 will arrive in the United States in early October. You can
be among the first to own this amazing new attachment. We are
accepting pre-orders now, but will not bill your credit card until
your DBS-22 is ready to ship."

CRAP that is expensive..... You can get a Drill Doctor that does the same
thing for half the price and probably much faster. BTY my Drill Doctor will
do split point also.

IO'm knocking the Tormek, I have one and it is a very good grinder.

Close, but Harbor Freight makes better knockoffs than Jet or Delta.
