Well, depending on what you're drilling, 4-5 uses before resharpening is
about right. Most folk don't sharpen their bits enough, spin them too fast,
run them dry, and press too hard. All of which promptly wipe out a drill
bit.
Which in my opinion makes for a great excuse to go buy a drill doctor.
While you can certainly resharpen a bit by hand, the drill doctor takes the
art and magic out of it, consistently resharpening with darn good results.
