Are there angle adjustments to accommodate sharpening bits for use on stainless steel on any Drill Doctor Models??

I can only speak for the DD750X that I have and it can grind 118 and 140 angle drills with the latter being better for tougher materials like stainless. The 750 is the only model that goes to 140, the 500 goes only to 135 so the 750 is the better choice if drilling tough materials is important to you. Clearance (relief) angle is the other important variable in grinding a drill point. The 750 does have adjustability but I don't recall exactly what the limits are right now, but it is adjustable. The best thing to do is go to the Drill Doctor website and look at the user manual and the drill angle guides they have there. Even if the DD can't get the exact geometry you're after it will give you a good symmetrical starting point for a final touch-up on a grinding wheel. Hope that helps.

No. You can use the size of wheel they have provided to sharpen different chain size. It's the adjustment of the angle of chain teeth that matters.

Assuming you're using the bits that came with drill, they all fit. Did you try opening the top, using the releaser (button on the silver part) and twisting the ridged dial? That will open the top so you can adjust to the stem of the bit... Make sure to secure it tight so it doesn't fly off or get loose during use.

The 40, 50, and 65 degree angle guides on the original Knife & Tool Sharpener refer to the total angle (20, 25 and 32.5 degrees per side). The Ken Onion Edition equivalent would be 30-70 degrees.

Stainless steel in general is a soft alloy, therefore these bits should be fine according to the research I did. I have drilled soft metals but not stainless steel thus far. Just be sure to check the speed your drill should be at. If you are unsure as I initially was amazon had another set I purchased with this. It was the Dremel Diamond point set (7105 & 7144) DRE7150. It's a set of two bits which I used for hardened steel and other such materials. Last be sure you lubricate your drill bit. I use Forney 20857 cutting fluid, although you may already have a lub of choice. I hope this helps you.

Yes, but a regular flat sharpening stone will do a better job. This tool is really designed for pocket knives and fixed blade hunting knives where the included angle is 30 and 40 degrees.

suggest you visit http://www.worksharptools.com/knife/sharpeners/accessories.html you will find 40 & 50deg guide attachments. beyond that (axes & such) you're going to need to bolt the unit to a hold-down, rotate the belt assy forward & freehand.

Not really. It comes with a basic set of diagram directions. I found that if you put the carbide bit into one of the holes and mount the Timberline on the chainsaw blade it will help you mount it at the right height for sharpening. I have used this thing about five time's already and it does work very well. I do remember that the directions say to rotate the carbide tip clockwise only. I have found that if you flip up the metal piece and use a screwdriver to put pressure on the chainsaw blade against the carbide tip as you rotate it sharpen the chainsaw will give you the best results. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a real easy way to sharpen their chainsaw's.

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.

are you talking about mounting the faceplate to the back of the chuck? if so there is a recessed hole that is 1 5/8 dia. with 3 holes that you attach the face plate to. i made a face plate that fit inside this an had 3 threaded holes that aligned with holes. i have a metal lathe also. there is a set of adapters that are offered with the chuck but i do not know if they will help you. i have a shop smith lathe. sorry if this does not help.

Wished I could help you here but I've only sharpened high carbon or high carbon stainless steel blades. Sorry.

The "fixed angle" is a bit misleading. There is a wide range of angles that you may position the sharpener. Great for any angle edge you might have.

There are two fixed angles -- one at the top for sharpening knives, the other lower for sharpening scissors and other implements. It takes a screwdriver and some fuss to change from one to the other, which is why I suggested a person should own two units -- one for each type of sharpening without the bother of switching back and forth between them.

Amazon has a sharpener with adjustable angle for a bit over 20 dollars. That is appropriate, if you know what angle you want.

Nope, no adjustment to change lade angle. I suppose the angle could be changed by the way you hold it. I am still using the razor and blades, and saving a lot of money by doing so.

I also would like to use a 4-jawed chuck so please post back what you have learned. I don't know what will fit my unit as I've only done some small, spindle projects. All the Best.

I'm not familiar w/ the Sharper Image product. Buffer Bit fits on any standard drill, the kind that loosens and tightens on drill bits. Does your Sharper Image do that? Yes? Then it should work.
