Darex LLC is proud to introduce the XT-3000 Auto Sharpener. This new sharpener completely automates the drill sharpening function of the already versatile XT-3000 sharpener. This will enable faster, and more consistent sharpening of many types of drills. The XT is already a workhorse sharpener with capability to not only sharpen drills but also countersinks, brad points, left hand drills, and more. The new feature will allow the user to simply align the drill, push the start button, and allow the auto sharpening feature to regrind the bit to specs within ANSI standards. Every person in your shop can achieve sharp results every time, no special set ups required. It has the capability to sharpen drills sized 3 to 21mm simply easily and quickly. Not only does the auto sharpener sharpen drills, it is also programmed to monitor and provide the number of sharpenings it has completed. This enables the user to not only measure the productivity, but also alert the user to perform regular maintenance to keep the machine running with no down time. This expanded capability will take sharpening throughput to new heights.
