You can use the side of the grinding wheel on applications where you are putting very little pressure against the wheel, such as drill bits.handmetheclip on February 16, 2009 at 3:27 pm. -

What the ???? Don’t worry if the point isn’t in the centre, and don’t worry if the edges aren’t the same length mate… She’ll be right, hey? And is it just me, or did one side of the first drill look like it had about 10 degrees more clearnace than the other? And the “inside cut, on the pretty thick bit in the middle” is called thinning the webb mate. Dear o’ dear…wokkas on February 16, 2009 at 3:27 pm. -

I have to agree …
I have to agree with toolmaker64, BoldUniverse & sawmilldarren. I’m no expert at sharpening bits but I know what NOT to do. I was always taught NEVER to use the side of a grinding wheel, and to cool the bit in water after every touch. You can clearly see the cutting faces are straw coloured – that’s enough to lose temper. If the tips on those ‘sharpened’ bits are equal I’ll eat this computer.mrxt500 on February 16, 2009 at 3:27 pm. -

I am glad I don’t live in Oregon, or have to go to Carson Saw Shop to get my tools dulled. I watched many of the videos…handsaws HA, my customers (soon to be ex customers if I did it that way) would laugh too. Please remove these farces, it is embarrassing to real sharpeners.sawmilldaren on February 16, 2009 at 3:27 pm. -

Depends on what …
Depends on what purpose you are gona use it for, the way he is doing it is fine for a handyman to make a hole in dry wall or wood or…. I dont know.In the place where I work (I operate CNC machine @ a professional die making company) in some cases we deal with less than one thou tolerances in 4140 grade steel, for such applications if you sharpen the drills this way it could result in you being fired!!
