Choosing a drill bit sharpener comes down to a few specs. Check the bit sizes it accepts, since a sharpener that stops at 12.7 mm will not help with larger bits. Look at the point angle range, whether the angle adjusts, and whether it makes split points. The wheel type and the number of collets or chucks affect accuracy. We put 6 products on one spec sheet so you can compare them side by side.

We reviewed 16 drill bit sharpeners and kept only the 6 that pass every check below. Those are ranked by a Best Score built from spec fit for this job, sales rank.
These reviews are based on specifications and listing information only. Each one explains what the specs mean for sharpening drill bits.
Adjustable angles and split points in one unit
The Drill Doctor 750X leads our ranking for this keyword. It sharpens bits from 2.38 mm to 19.05 mm. That is 3/32 to 3/4 in, which covers most twist bits in a home or shop set. It also starts smaller than the three 3 mm models, so tiny bits are not left out.
Angle control matters most here. The point angle adjusts from 115 to 140 degrees, and 140 is the highest upper limit in the group. You set it to match the material you drill. It also creates or restores split points, and the Push to Stop port helps prevent over splitting.
It restores carbide, cobalt, high speed steel, black oxide, TiN coated and masonry bits with a diamond wheel. A 180 grit wheel comes installed. The kit adds a 3/4 in chuck, a carrying bag, a wheel hub wrench and a 6 foot cord. It carries a 3 yr warranty. The maker lists the footprint as 11 × 5.75 × 6.5 in, so it fits on a small bench.
VerdictIt ranks first because it combines wide size range, adjustable angles and split points.
A basic Drill Doctor for common bit sizes
The Drill Doctor 350X ranks second. It sharpens bits from 2.38 mm to 12.7 mm, or 3/32 to 1/2 in. That suits the twist bits in a typical household case. Larger bits are out of reach, since the top size is lower than on the 750X and on the models that list 20 mm.
A diamond wheel does the grinding, and the listing says it handles high speed steel, masonry, carbide and TiN coated bits. On Chuck Alignment is meant to simplify setup. V Block chuck jaws help keep small bits from twisting while you sharpen. Those features matter because alignment decides how even the cutting edge comes out.
The maker does not publish a point angle range, split point support, angle adjustment or warranty for this model. If you need set angles or split points, check the listing first. It lists 2.33 lb and a footprint of 4.5 × 6.75 × 12.5 in, so it is easy to store.
VerdictIt is a simple option for common household bit sizes, with fewer published specs than the leaders.
18 collets and a 20 mm top size
The VEVOR MR-20G ranks third. It handles bits from 3 mm to 20 mm, and it ties for the largest top size in the group. It comes with 18 collets, one for each whole size from 3 to 20 mm, plus 2 chucks. A collet that fits the shank closely helps hold the bit true while it is ground.
Point angle adjusts from 95 to 135 degrees. That range starts lower than the 750X but stops short of its 140 degrees. You can also set the lip relief angle with positioner pins, and the listing mentions 4 types. Two wheels are offered, CBN for high speed steel and SDC for alloy tungsten steel.
It is a bench machine. It lists 20.1 lb, the heaviest of the models that list weight, and a footprint of 11.4 × 5.7 × 6.3 in. The motor runs at 4500 RPM, the highest listed speed. The maker does not publish split point support, masonry capability or a warranty.
VerdictIt suits a workshop that wants collet precision and a wide size range, not portability.
Split point sharpening with two fixed angles
The Drill Doctor 500X ranks fourth. It sharpens bits from 2.38 mm to 12.7 mm, which is 3/32 to 1/2 in. A 3/4 in chuck is sold separately if you need larger bits. For small and medium twist and masonry bits, the standard range is enough.
The point angle is not adjustable. You choose between two settings, 118 degrees for general work or 135 degrees for harder materials. That gives a stated range of 118 to 135 degrees. Fewer settings mean less to adjust, but you cannot dial in an angle in between.
Split point sharpening is included. It can create or restore split points, which helps reduce walking when you start a hole. The Push to Stop port helps prevent over splitting. The kit has a 1/2 in chuck, a preinstalled 180 grit diamond wheel, a wheel hub wrench and a 6 foot cord. The warranty is 3 yr.
VerdictIt is a fair pick for common bit sizes when two preset angles are enough, but the 750X offers more control.
CBN wheel and 13 collets, 3 to 15 mm
The AR MR-13A ranks fifth. It covers bits from 3 mm to 15 mm with 13 collets, one for each whole size in that span. That is a smaller range than the VEVOR and PreAsion MR-20G units, which reach 20 mm. It also cannot sharpen bits under 3 mm, where the Drill Doctor models start at 2.38 mm.
The grinding wheel is cubic boron nitride, listed as CBN. The listing says the surface finish rivals new bits and that drilling accuracy stays within 0.1 mm. Point angle adjusts from 95 to 135 degrees. Those are the maker's claims, so treat them as listing information, not proof.
The motor runs at 4400 RPM. The listing mentions an open-type cover that opens for dust cleaning and an all-iron structure. A collet chuck is included for holding bits. The maker does not publish weight, dimensions, split point support, masonry capability or a warranty, so check those before you buy.
VerdictIt fits steady steel bit work in the mid sizes, but it publishes less than higher ranked models.
Best among the reviewed tools
List the sizes of the bits you own first. The models here start at 2.38 mm or 3 mm and top out at 12.7 mm, 15 mm, 19.05 mm or 20 mm. A sharpener that cannot hold your largest bit will not help, so match the range to your set.
Point angle sets how the tip meets the material. Four models list a range that tops out at 135 degrees, and the Drill Doctor 750X reaches 140 degrees. A 118 degree setting suits general work, while 135 degrees suits harder materials. Adjustable angles give more control than fixed presets.
Diamond wheels appear on the three Drill Doctor models, and the listings say they handle carbide and masonry bits. CBN wheels appear on the AR and PreAsion units, and the PreAsion listing names high speed steel. The VEVOR offers both CBN and SDC wheels. Choose by the bit materials you use.
Collets hold the bit true, so more collets mean a closer fit across sizes. The VEVOR and PreAsion list 18 collets, and the 750X and 500X list one chuck each. Weight differs a lot, from 0.5 lb on the 750X to 20.1 lb on the VEVOR, among the models that list it.
Some can. The three Drill Doctor models list masonry bit sharpening and use diamond wheels. The VEVOR, AR and PreAsion pages do not list masonry support, so check the maker's details before using them on masonry bits.
A split point is a tip shape that helps a bit start a hole without wandering. The listing for the 500X says it helps reduce walking. Only the Drill Doctor 750X and 500X list split point sharpening, so check others before relying on it.
Collets match the bit shank size, so each size needs its own. The VEVOR MR-20G and PreAsion MR-20G list 18 collets for 3 to 20 mm, and the AR MR-13A lists 13 for 3 to 15 mm. The 750X and 500X include one chuck.
Weight affects where you can use it. The VEVOR MR-20G lists 20.1 lb and the 350X lists 2.33 lb. The 750X lists 0.5 lb. Weight is not published for the other models, so check the listing if you plan to carry it between jobs.
