I am about 9 weeks short of retirement after 44 years in the Machinist`s trade. For my first 23 years in the trade, I never had the option of a machine to sharpen my drills for me.

If I recall, even with shipping, I saved about 30 to 40 dollars over buying it at a local store in the end. It is well worth the investment.
