I have no luck buying drill bits, maybe bad advice, maybe buying to cheap but the performance doesn't seem to be there. Lots of choices, carbon steel, hardened steel, carbide etc.. Can anyone explain the difference's? I'm looking for some bits for a hand drill, general purpose, light duty.
What about those Drill Doctor/ Bit Doctor machines, always thought they were a
"house wife" tool but I may have to re-look at my thinking there, I do know that its hit and miss for me when I sharpen a bit on the grinder and way more miss than hit. How often do you sharpen?
Anybody care to give us a lesson on drill bits?
