Tivoly 750X Medical Drill
Editor’s note: 4.5 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
The essential workshop tool! The Tivoly Drill Doctor 750X delivers unparalleled performance by allowing you to easily resharpen many types of drill bits (HSS, HSS cobalt, TiN, carbide tipped concrete drill bits, etc.) in just 30 seconds. Cutting angle, cross sharpening and conical profiling, you don’t forget anything. While the point angle can vary from 118° to 135°, the diameter range is 2.5 to 19 mm. The machine is easy to use, but a DVD with clear and precise instructions is always provided. Finally, the device comes with its sturdy canvas carrying bag, enough to transport it to the construction site if necessary.
My opinion : This Tivoly drill bit sharpener is by far my favorite! Don’t be fooled by its plastic construction which, at first glance, looks a little cheap: it is a perfectly well designed tool, very useful and extremely precise. If it is aimed primarily at professionals, especially given its price, it also has something to appeal to experienced DIYers who wish to take care of their equipment rather than necessarily buying it back. Its small advantage is obviously that it goes up to 19mm, which is really great. As is often the case with this type of machine, it takes time to set it up correctly, but once that’s done, the results are always on point!
Holzmann BSG13PRO
Editor’s note: 5 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
The Holzmann BSG13PRO is an easy-to-use sharpener while ensuring fast and precise sharpening. It does not require any particular experience or knowledge: just put the tip inside the machine, adjust it and it will do all the work by itself! Thanks to its various locking devices, it also guarantees grinding angles from 90° to 135° and can accommodate drill bits and drills with a diameter between 3 and 13 mm. Delivered with a diamond wheel and equipped with a powerful and enduring motor, it weighs only 9.5 kg, which makes it convenient to transport. Especially since there is a handle on the top of the device for easy grip.
My opinion : We remain in the professional team with this Holzann sharpener which has something to satisfy all craftsmen looking for the quality tool that will allow them to sharpen their drill bits. If this is your case, please note that no French user manual is included. So even if the brand specifies that prior experience is not necessary, it is still better to know a little more about how it works. Especially since it would be a shame to miss it because it is a high-performance, well-equipped machine (it comes with a complete set of pliers) and which offers very good results. In this professional category, it is therefore a good alternative to Tivoly.
Tormek DBS-22
Editor’s note: 4.5 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
With its DBS-22, Tormek offers a patented extremely precise sharpening device. Designed for bits from 3 to 22 mm in diameter, it can be adapted and adjusted as needed to ensure an optimal point and cutting angle (90° to 150°). Thanks to a system that continuously cools the metal, the bits are ground efficiently, without the risk of losing hardness or creating microcracks. This is also why all worn and even broken bits can go through this machine: they will come out with a perfect shape, adapted to the type of drilling for which they were manufactured.
My opinion : All demanding professionals and do-it-yourselfers will agree with me: investing in an electric sharpener is certainly a very good investment, but it pays for itself very quickly when you have to deal with several dozen drill bits per year! This Tormek does not escape the high price, but for once it is incredibly precise and very effective. The brand has really designed it with care and it shows: it is of high quality and even if it requires a little learning time, it works terribly well. If you want to redo all your old drill bits and stop spending money buying new ones, then this is definitely a machine like this for you!
Tivoly Doctor XPK drill bit
Editor’s note: 4 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
Tivoly’s promise is always the same: the brand offers to relaunch the exercises in less than 3 seconds! And that’s what this Drill Doctor XPK is capable of doing, whether for metal or concrete (HSS, Cobalt, etc.) drill bits. It performs both standard sharpening (conical clearance) and the most complex (especially cross stitch). As for its point angle, it is 118° while the possible diameters range from 2.5 to 13 mm. In addition to its reversible wheel to double the number of uses, it can also be equipped with a 19mm chuck to increase its capacity. With less than 2kg on the scale, it finally moves and stores easily.
My opinion : If your bit sharpening needs are not heavy or not too regular, I would definitely advise you to choose this Tivoly! Indeed, Drill Doctor XPK comes at a much more affordable price and has no problem being one of the best value for money on the market. As for the manual, it is not always very clear and it may be necessary to experiment a little to understand how it works (or find a tutorial on the internet). But when it does, you’ll have no problem breathing new life into your tracks, including those crossovers, which is great. For occasional use, it is clearly this model that I would recommend!
Tacklife MBG01A
Editor’s note: 3.5 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
With its MBG01A, Tacklife offers a multifunction sharpener: there are indeed 2 grinding wheels, one in corundum for tools such as scissors and axes, and one in diamond for drill bits. Its possible applications are therefore numerous and it is suitable for DIY tools as well as gardening tools or household tools such as knives for example. It also comes with different attachments to make it totally versatile and is equipped with an adjustable fence and an adjustable angle cutting head. Fits all tools and sharpening needs.
My opinion : The Tacklife MBG01A is great if your tool collection gets quite large and you need a versatile machine that can hold all the cutting edges. Drills, but also saw blades or hedge trimmers, it really is capable of doing it all. But for that, of course, you will have control. Unlike previous models, this is not an “automatic” sharpener: it’s up to you to sharpen properly if you want your bits to come back to life. It must be said that we are there for a small price and, inevitably, we cannot always have everything!
Next to the PSS65A1 park
Editor’s note: 3.5 / 5 | Reward : See the price on Amazon
The Parkside PSS65A1 sharpening station provides quick and easy sharpening of drill bits, blades and chisels. Equipped with a high quality diamond blade, its angle is adjustable between 15° and 50° and thanks to its tip for twist drills, it can accommodate those with a diameter between 3 and 10 mm. It also comes with 1 bit for knives, scissors and blades, as well as 1 bit for scissors from 6 to 51 mm wide. Weighing just over 1kg, it’s also lighter, making it easy to place on any work surface. A transparent protection element finally retains the sparks for more safety.
My opinion : Parkside is a brand known for offering a low cost tooling solution. The quality is certainly not the best but it still has its advantages, especially when the use of the tools is not very regular or very intensive. This is particularly the case with a drill bit sharpener for individuals and it is precisely for this reason that I could recommend this model to you. The sharpening is not very precise but it helps a lot and in addition, the machine is not expensive at all. And since the other tips given make it more versatile, it can definitely be useful to you.
