Can it sharpen Carbide End Mill Bits?

No - End Mill bits (fly cutters, etc.) have outside cutting edges that hang below the center point of the bit (the outside cut leads) - if I recall correctly. The drill doctor bit holder mechanism only sharpens bits which the center point leads the cut. I see no way to change this condition.

It would depend on your definition of " wood bits ". If you are referring to paddle bits or forstner bits then I don't think it will do the job.But it will sharpen the standard 118 degree drill bits sized from 3/32" to 1/2", and does a good job!

No but if you have an old set of allen wrenches lying around, chop off the 90 degree end and use the long side as your bit.

I do believe you can do so, but must say I have not tried one myself. It will sharpen almost any edge you want, axe.s, lawn mower blades, scissors, gut-hook knives also. Hope this helps out..es

Yes. All Drill Doctor models use diamond sharpening wheels and can sharpen High-Speed-Steel, Carbide, Cobalt, TiN Coated and Carbide-Tipped Masonry bits.

I don't know. The one I bought is for sharpening standard drill bits. You could probably get on the company's website, get their phone number and ask them the question.

I've never tried to sharpen them. I have sharpened other bits and blades etc. You would want to sharpen from the hole side only. I would imagine a dremel would work fine though.

Hello Kyrylo, In my limited experience there are two principal factors in blade's sharpening. One and the most important is the hardness of the abrasive material (this is the material that you will use to abrade) the abrasive material must be harder than the metal of the blade, so it can erode the blade, until the blade takes a good edge. The other matter is the grain size of the abrasive material, if the size is small, the edge will be thinner and sharpen but it will take much longer to erode the steel, larger grain size will leave a coarse finish but the erotion part is considerably faster. If you are wondering if the carbide stone may abrade any of those steels... my answer will be a resounding yes. This material is one of the most hardest materials ever made and is almost or equal as hard as a diamond, there is no steel made by man that can achieve such hardness. But don't trust me, go and investigate about hardness. I recomend you to search the hardness tables of scales like Rockwell or Vickers, the manofacturer of the steel can provide you the info. You just need to compare the hardness of the steel and the stone. Finally I have a really good experience with this sharpener, as you may read in the description of it, the carbide stone sets the edge of the blade, and the ceramic stone finish the work, this is beacuse the ceramic stone has a smaller grain size than the carbide. And this is a pocket sharpener, to make quick repairs on the edge of modest knifes (like a bowie style and smallers) it's not for heavy duty. I hope I have been helpful. Best regards.

It can use chisel bits. But this model uses a smaller size than many machines. Depending on what you need to chisel, you might want a bigger unit.

I have purchased bits from MLCS, they have good prices on 1/4" solid carbide end mills and several V cutting bits. I do not know where to buy the conical carving bit that comes with the unit, however, I know Oliver sells them.

No. Because the carbide tips are 3/16 in wide, They are offset 1/16 in to be able to cut 1/4 in, and reverse for 3/8 in cut. If you have a dado set you can use one of the outside blades as they are 1/8 in wide in most cases.

you certainly can use the grinding disc to sharpen mower blades. we do it all the time at our shop.

I use this when I need to sharpen my bits and it works better then the grinder wheel that I use to use. So I would say yes.

No, or at least I did not. You will be able to use them in any drill or drill press. My only problem is that it was difficult to tighten the chuck enough to prevent them from spinning when the going got difficult. A hex end more like regular bits would prevent that. But, the bottom line is I have always gotten the job done with them.

Chop saws that can use a carbide blade seem to be specific. I wouldn't chance it even if you found one that fit

There is no bit driver on the tool. Unles you want to usr the plyers as a driver but it wont be very effective.

You could, but why would you? It will cut slow and eliminates the advantages that you would buy this saw for. The carbide blade barely leaves a bur, the cut is almost cool to the touch, it cuts quickly, and it makes less mess. Depending on what you are cutting, you can make several hundred cuts before you send the blade out for sharpening, which eliminates time lost to changing out the abrasive disks. Overall, buy a spare carbide blade, can send one out to be sharpened and use the spare. Quit buying the abrasive disks!
