Barry thanks for posting that video, very interesting.

The sharpeners I have only have one angle (It must be 135 degree but would be nice to do 118 as well)

I can't do 'split points' either

And I can't change the grinding wheel grit number which would also be nice (To speed up the bigger drills)

I'm going to see if Mr. Google can find a UK supplier.

ETA:-
Found two suppliers, one of them (Rutlands) I've used before and claim to be in 'Summer Sale' so might give them a ring tomorrow.

Who did you buy from Barry

Thanks, will ring them also. Rutlands say out of stock on the spare grinding wheels.

Seems like the best sharpener I've seen as I said above some of these 'drill sharpeners' take a long time to set up and are difficult to use.

Probably one of the three authorised UK dealers (includes the link above)

Phoned them all, none stock the spare wheels or the alternative grit wheels

Decided I don't really need 135 angle or split points so going for the basic model.

Will wait 'till Thu. to order when c/card starts a new month so I won't have to pay for it until November 10th. It can be my Crissy pressie
