    Drill Doctor is Mangling my Drill Bits

    I've been using my Drill Doctor 750x for the past year with great results. I've only sharpened 118 degree HSS bits and recently bought some secondhand bits that appear to be black and gold Norseman bits (135 degree split points). I've followed the instructions for 135 degree split points and...

    Milwaukee 6365 vs 6390

    The discussion that I've seen on Milwaukee circular saws seem to mention the 6390. How does it compare to the 6365? The main difference that I see is that the base on the 6365 doesn't tilt. Is this an important feature?

    This came in a box I bought at a yardsale and I don't know what it is for. The handle is marked "TRW 73091 USA" and the end has sort of an hourglass shape as shown in the photos.
