Drill Doctor DD750X Drill Bit Sharpener best price

Wow, a drill bit sharpener that actually does as the manufacturer claims. To me, few things are more aggravating than trying to work with a dull drill bit, especially when working with steel. When considering the amount of time wasted and productivity lost whenever good sharp bits are needed on a job, but unavailable, it doesn’t take long to realize that it only makes good economic sense to be able to sharpen your own bits, especially for contractors and service/maintenance shops. Personally, I don’t mind spending a few minutes of my time, sharpening my drill bits, which I use on my jobs.

Like others, I had tried some of the useless, piece of junk sharpeners that came along in previous years and was a little apprehensive about trying yet another one. I’m glad I decided to try the 750SP. It really does have the ability to get your twist drill bits razor sharp, usually in less than one minute. You can also use it to convert standard point bits to split point bits. I thought it was going to be a pain to use, but the sharpening technique is simple and very easy to master. Alignment of bits over 1/8″ is done with the chuck by inserting it with the bit into the alignment slot. With bits smaller than 1/8″, you have to insert the bits into the alignment slot without the chuck initially and then slide the chuck over the bit after. This may sound a little cumbersome, but once you have the unit and do it one time, you’ll see that is actually not an issue at all, even with bits as small as 3/32″. » Continue Reading

Kitchen Remodeling 101: Updating Kitchen Cabinets

November 17, 2011 Category :Home Design 0

A great way to save on your kitchen remodeling project would be to update your kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them with new ones. Making your kitchen cabinets appear new or more stylish is actually quite easy, provided that you know what you need to do. Here are the steps for updating kitchen cabinets that you can use.

Clean out your kitchen cabinets.

Throw out everything that you are no longer using and cannot sell at a yard sale. Make sure that you would only be keeping those that you actually need and would actually be using in your kitchen.

Clean your kitchen cabinet doors, hardware and interior.

Using cleaning products which are suitable for cleaning cabinet hardware and the type material that your kitchen cabinets are made of, clean the interior and exterior of your kitchen cabinets thoroughly. This would not just make your cabinets look clean, it can also make your cabinets smell clean.

Repaint your cabinets.

Repainting your kitchen cabinets is a good way to instantly make them appear brand new and more stylish. Make sure that the color of the paint you would be using is one that complements the rest of your kitchen. If you have a small kitchen, avoid using dark colors, as they could make your kitchen appear even smaller. Instead, go for lighter or brighter colors which can open up the space and make your kitchen look more welcoming.

Replace dated cabinet hardware.

Even new cabinets which have dated hardware can look old. Unless that is your goal, make sure to replace the hardware of your kitchen cabinets with those that suit your taste and budget. There is a wide range of cabinet hardware you can choose from funky ones to more traditional ones so you should be able to find those that would fit your style preference.

Replace cabinet doors instead of the whole cabinet.

If your cabinets are a bit more rundown, then you might want to consider replacing the kitchen cabinet doors. Replacing the doors of kitchen cabinets would definitely save you a lot more money compared to if you would be replacing the whole cabinets. Just make sure that the cabinet doors you would be purchasing would fit the rest of the body of the cabinet perfectly in both their size and appearance.
