I have had the Drill Doctor XP2 for about 2 years. I have not had any problems with it at all.
It does have a replaceable grinding wheel, but can hardly see any wear on the wheel and have done a lot of sharpening of #30 and #40 drills. It really does a great job, nicely centered grind on the flutes every time. I also do a side cut on the flutes, it does that as a second step in the sharpening process. Makes the drills go thru aluminum just like it was not even there. I do use a high speed small air motor to drive the drills.
It comes with a "training" DVD that takes you through the entire process and even shows you how to service your tool.
They have them at Home Depot and sometimes they have a $20.00 rebate slip right along with them. Got mine that way!
Highly recommended!

I was extremely sceptical about the Drill Doctor. A small grinder in a plastic housing. Well someone at work bought one to sharpen bits instead of replacing them. I took it home and put it to work one day just to see what kind of foolish gimmick it was. I now have a huge quantity of correctly sharpened bits. I hate to admit it because I still think it's a little gimmicky, but it works. It's slightly harder to get the small bits aligned properly, but I was trying the cheapest model. Maybe the others are better at this small nit.
