Sharp Tools Perform Better and Are Safer to Use Whether you're a professional tradesperson or a serious hobbyist, you know that a dull drill bit can waste valuable time, result in lower-quality work, damage work materials, and shorten your drill’s life. But unlike the relatively straightforward task of sharpening flat blades, sharpening drill bits by hand is a cumbersome and difficult task. This is what makes the intuitive, easy-to-use Drill Doctor sharpener so useful. Three Easy Steps Ensure Bits Are Sharp and Effective With the Drill Doctor 750X, you simply align the bit by setting it against the stop and locking it in place. To sharpen the bit, you turn the chuck an even number of half turns, depending on the size of your bit. As you sharpen, long jaws hold the bit precisely in place, and jaw guides eliminate jaw twisting on small bits. This secure alignment system ensures that you maintain accurate bit geometry and don't damage the integrity of your tools. Once the bit is sharpened, the Drill Doctor 750X gives you the option of making a unique BACK-CUT split-point bit that gives your bit an extra-narrow chisel point, making it faster to penetrate and less likely to wander on the material you are drilling in to. Additionally, the drill point splitting port offers a "Push to Stop" design that will prevent over-splitting the bit point. The adjustable material take-off allows you to change the amount of bit material that is removed to accommodate large, broken bits or extend the life of small, precision tools. Engineered for Versatility and Flexibility The same chuck can be used to sharpen bits of all sizes, from 3/32- to 3/4-inch, whether they are English, metric, or letter gauge bits. The Drill Doctor 750X sharpens a wide variety of bit types, from high-speed steel, carbide, cobalt, TiN-coated, masonry, and split-point bits for working with metal. Professional Design and Construction for Durability For added durability, the Drill Doctor 750X features a metal split-point port and a die-cast point angle shuttle. The tool relies on a permanent-magnet motor that produces consistent power, regardless of speed or load. The Drill Doctor 750X also relies on an industrial-strength diamond sharpening wheel that won't change shape over time, and a cool design that means bits don't heat up and lose their tempering as you sharpen them. This wheel, which is good for about 200 sharpenings, is easy for users to replace. As a bonus, the Drill Doctor 750X comes with a rugged shell case, making it easy to transport to the job site. This durable case offers internal storage space for your Drill Doctor, two chucks, two sharpening wheels, and a storage area for small drill bits or other accessories. The Drill Doctor is backed by a three-year manufacturer’s warranty. What's in the Box Drill bit sharpener, hard-shell carrying case, user guide, and instructional DVD. |

Here are some more information for Professional Automotive Pilot:

Installing your own underglow neon kit is a fairly straightforward process. There are a few things you should know before taking on this project that can make or break your results.
The first thing to do is to get the car up on sturdy jackstands. Unpack all your materials, and go ahead and get some good zip ties and small wire conduit, as they will help in the installation. Look under the vehicle on each side. We will start by placing the 2 largest bulbs on the sides. You want to find a good spot centered on the side of the car, but clear of the jack points. There is usually a small lip just behind the side skirts or the side of the underbody. That is usually the best placement for the bulbs. Some kits come with a reflective background. Make sure there is adequate clearance to mount the bulbs and the reflective background without being able to see the bulbs from outside the car. The bulb harnesses will come with self tapping screws that you can drill in place to secure the bulbs to the vehicle. Line up the bulbs and drill in the center harness. If you don't have self tapping screws, drill some small pilot holes about 1/4 inch deep. Secure the ends in place in the same manner and the side bulbs are secured.
The rear and front bulbs may be a little more tricky to find the right place to anchor them. You can usually place them under the bumper cover, but I have found great success attaching them to the subframe using a couple of zip ties zipped together. This allows the light to project forward from underneath the bumper. If the light is secured under the bumper cover, the bumper prohibits the light from shining outwards from underneath. Either way will work, but the former method will give a better result.
The rear should be treated just like the front. Try to mount it in a location facing outwards where light will be able to get outside of the bumper, but where you won't see the bulbs. Zip ties work well here too. Once this is secured in place, its time to run the wires. I like to use small conduit for this as it gives a professional, clean installation. Zip tie the wires along the frame and bring them together underneath the car. attach them together (not the actual wires, but just bundled together) and run them up through the engine compartment in a slightly larger conduit so all 4 wires will fit. If you plan to mount the control box inside the car, you can run them inside the car as you would an amplifier primary cable. Otherwise, find a flat spot to mount your controller under the hood. Secure it in place, and trim up any excess wiring. Attach the wiring, and run the primary power wires to the appropriate sources.
There is a switch that is mounted inside the vehicle. You can use the given switch, or choose to add a fighter style switch or other aftermarket switch. The provided switches will look really nice recessed into the dash, created a factory finish. I have been able to drill the right sized hole in the dash and place the switch next to other factory switches, which really makes for a great install.

Nissan Csi as Divulged by a Senior Vp
What is the most powerful acronym in the automotive realm? It is the CSI and it is short for Customer Satisfaction Index. In fact, the numbers shown in the index could bring tears of exaltation or devastation.
For the Nissan Motor Co., the numbers are being safeguarded by Doug Betts, Nissan’s senior vice president of Total Customer Satisfaction. Betts is an engineer by education and training who joined Nissan almost three years ago after ten years with Toyota. Prior to that, he has served eight years with Michelin when Carlos Ghosn ran the American operation.
Betts’ marketing is focused on consumer oriented methods around the concept of total customer satisfaction. “As our product quality has significantly improved, our dealers have told me their warranty work has gone down as much as 50% to 60% in the last year. So, now it’s very important the dealer be very efficient, professional and reliable doing maintenance work,” Betts explained. “If we don’t help fill-up our dealers service bays with maintenance work to replace warranty work, it’s going to put a lot of pressure on them for profitability.”
Asked about the company’s improved CSI concept, Betts said: “The idea originated in Japan. The basic idea is that the service department could run more efficiently if there was input from the manufacturing side of the business. Take a plant with two lines; cars are coming off the line every 26 seconds. When something goes wrong, it’s suddenly wrong on every car – plant operations are standardized. Before there’s time to make the problem go away, another car is coming off the line. So, the factory must be good and efficient at repairing cars under these difficult conditions.”
He added, “At the end of a line there’s not a huge repair area to put the cars in and fix the vehicles and move on. That’s why the factory service people can get so good at quick repairs because they are exposed to the way the plant works and functions. We are always looking for every tenth-of-a second in improved efficiency. There is a need to eliminate any time that is being wasted. Our factory repair teams are accustomed and exposed to this way of thinking.”
According to Betts, the plan was started a year ago with a pilot activity that used people from the plants in Japan to go to dealers to study, analyze and work with them on service operations in order to find ways to make the operations more efficient. The said plan does not only concern services on the Nissan mud flap and other parts. It intends to delve deeper to target holistic approach. He said, “In the pilot dealers, we found huge gains in dealer efficiencies. This has resulted in the dealers being able to schedule more work in the same day and make more money.”
The result is faster service and limited delays. “For example, if a customer called to make an appointment and instead of being told, ‘I can get you in four days from now,” he was told “we can get to you today or tomorrow.’ That is an improvement,” Betts noted. “One of the things we’ve been able to implement is a system called, Assist, for the things that are or can be electronically diagnosed with computers. A print-out tells the tech what is wrong with the vehicle and what parts and tools are needed to fix it.”
“Efficiency, at the end of the day, always goes to the consumer. Dealership owners expect a specific return on their investment. It may take time, but it always does. And this can generate even more business and profits,” Betts concluded.
