I have tried most every way possible to sharpen small drill bits. Including, having them sent out and done on sharpening machines. I can usually hand sharpen them pretty well but not like a regular machine can do them. You have to have both cutting edges the same angle and height. Several years ago I bought the Drill Doctor Model 750. It will sharpen bits up to 3/4" with very good results. It is a good addition for the small shop or farm. I had some issues with bigger bits at first but found out the chuck was not tight enough to hold them (my bad). It makes it easy (and actually fun) to keep all my small bits (up to 3/4") sharp and ready to go for the next job.
