Topic tags/keywords: jig question shaping work sharp Has anyone created a jig or know if there is one commercially available for shaping drill bits on the Work Sharp W3000 or the W2000? I am thinking about buying a Drill Doctor however I would rather save a bit and just make/buy a jig for the Work Sharp system. Any feed back would be great. |

Buy the Drill Doctor. It is purpose designed to sharpen your bits. Really like mine and use it a lot. -- Rick Gustafson - Lost Creek Ranch - Colorado County, Texas |

I have had mine for about 4-5 years and think it is model 300. As long as you get your bit set correctly in the holder and don’t rush it (overheat bit) it will give a good result. I would like the Model 750X, at some point, since it can sharpen bits up to 3/4” and mine is limited to 1/2”. Look on Amazon as you can get the 350X (upgraded version of mine) for about $50 or the 500X for about $100. We also have the Worksharp 3000 and think you would spend a lot of time trying to rig it to accurately sharpen round drill bits. Good luck! -- Rick Gustafson - Lost Creek Ranch - Colorado County, Texas |
