I didn't know how to get this information out to drill doctor users, but this morning your video showed up on my recommended list and I knew this was the answer. Yesterday I used my Drill Doctor 400 to sharpen a few 3/8' bits that I would be using on my next project after I finished the sharping process I tried one out and decided that I should add a split point to the bits, I went back to the Drill Doctor and started the process that requires look down inside the unit for alignment and noticed a red glow on the low down on the left side, looking around I saw nothing that would cause that red glow through the translucent plastic cleanout door, I pick up a scratch Awl and reached into the tray and stirred up the metal powder sharping dust and the chamber broke out to flames, I had a difficult time extinguishing the coals and only doused it when I dump water from my cooling cup into it. I must say that, I have never turned the Drill Doctor upside down to Clean it out but have dumped the little clean-out cup on the side many times. Also, I must say, there have been times when I could smell something burning in my shop but never found the source. It most likely would not burst into flames had I not removed the plastic door but nevertheless this could have been a big problem had it been sitting around combustible material. I JUST WANT TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE!

You are right about that. I have no idea what happens here on the weekends.
I just found out about this one on Amazon and it's a little cheaper. amzn.to/3ZZaXpr
