“We here at Irwin Research and Development would like to express our appreciation to your company for manufacturing such high quality equipment.

Prior to purchasing an Oliver model 21HD, and an Oliver model 600 automatic, we used several different brands of drill pointers, without much success. We eventually started sharpening all of our drills by hand because the drill sharpening machines we had simply did not work any longer. Hand sharpening drills in a large machine shop environment such as ours was not ideal, so we turned to Oliver for the solution.

We have owned the Oliver machines for approximately two years now, and they have made a huge difference. Our hole tolerances after repointing rival a brand new drill, and tool life has increased dramatically. The Oliver machines are easy to use and maintain, and deliver consistency each and every time. Oliver's customer service has been outstanding, and they have been a pleasure to work with. We obtained our model 600 on the used market and the parts we needed to get it up and running were sent to us very quickly from stock. The replacement abrasive wheels are also in stock and ship quickly as well. I highly recommend Oliver drill pointing machines over any other machine available.”

“The Oliver Model 700 cut my grinding time by a third! Oliver machines produce a much better point, resulting in cost savings for my customers.

Every time I call for parts, they’re great! I’m treated very courteously; they provide me pricing, availability & shipping, and they always have the part that I need."

“We’ve got a couple of Oliver grinders, the smaller 21HD and an older, larger Model 600. They make an excellent product. I like the Oliver machines because they’re dependable; they’re like a Timex - they can take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’. They are also easy to train a person on. I can take a guy that doesn’t know anything about sharpening drills and in 30 minutes, have him sharpening drills like someone with 5 years of experience!"

“We have owned and used this machine (Oliver 510) for over thirty years and it has been a great tool. It sets up quickly, is easy to use and straight forward in its operations. We can have people use it within a half hour instruction time and be very competent and comfortable using it.

We do a lot of machine tool maintenance and rebuilds and have recommended this grinder to many companies as a great accessory for their tooling support.

Your support of the 510 and help with parts and information has been great.

We thank you for your help over the years and may you continue for many more."

“We bought a used Oliver machine at an auction last year, a 1950’s or 1960’s vintage model, and it still does a quality job grinding our drills. It’s a proven design and pretty user-friendly. I can certainly recommend the Oliver over other drill grinders. We do heavy industrial hydraulic cylinder repairs and we needed a better drill grinder for our business... the Oliver is it!”

“We have several Oliver grinders, and we use them every day. They’re simple to operate and they do a great job.

Oliver did a great job training, too. We’re a plant of over 20,000 people here in Flint. The Oliver trainer came in and showed us all how to do the best job sharpening our drills... he was great!”

“We’ve cut our drill grinding time in half and with a greater performance on drill life.”

“We have a Model 600 and I love it; it’s easy to use and it leaves a beautiful finish! I like that it can run by itself. I train people too, and the Oliver Model 600 is easy to teach; a lot easier than other grinders."

“Oliver did not want a customer to have a machine out there that they weren’t completely satisfied with. We had a slide that was sticking on our Model 21HD, when I called Oliver, they told me to box it up and send it back. They fixed it and shipped it right back. It’s working very well. They did exactly what they said; paid for the shipping and all!”

“I like our Model 600, it’s easy to use and gives a great point. We bought ours used, at auction about 4 years ago. I don’t know what we’d do without it!”

“I like the Oliver 21HD because anybody can use it. You don’t need a special tool room guy, everyone can sharpen their own drills. It saves us a lot of time and money!”
