No Brad, I don't want you to do anything but be accurate. You claimed it took 10 minutes to set up a Drill Dr. and that an average hand sharpened drill bit will drill to within a half a thou to a thou (you don't even mention using a drill gauge so it must be you have a calibrated eyeball). You dismiss the idea of drill grinders all together in fact.

Dissing an item based on using it a couple times is a poor practice in my experience, especially if there are other people reporting good success with that item.

It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
