100% correct on that claim. I've now watched a load of drill sharpening videos on KZbin and this is by far the best, particularly in the area of splitting the point (or thinning the web as Paul calls it). A lot of this has to do with the videography and the close ups accompanying the instruction, but also the simple idea of using a Sharpie to outline the area that is going to be relieved to show you what you are aiming for. Most people just show the webbing area being ground (often super quickly) and if you are lucky you get an out of focus view of the result.

I don't normally watch drill sharpening video's but this time I did. What you showed is pretty much exactly what I was taught in the mid 1970's, including using two nuts to get 120 degree angle which is often 'close enough'. It's pretty much forgotten about nowadays so good to see it mentioned (I've never used a drill guide either and I don't have the rests on bench grinder) I will add two things though, the first you've probably seen, someone who 'knows how to dress the wheel' then using diamond wrong and losing the actual diamond from the holder and the second is using a slip stone (India stone) to remove the edge when drilling brass (to get zero rake but still have clearance angle) Conventional grind often 'pulls' the drill into brass.

Hello sir, you explained the manual sharpening of the drill very well, pointing to common mistakes. Beautiful presentation (!). I was even going to show Internet users the correct sharpening, but you beat me to it 😀. I even learned how to sharpen a chipped cutter tooth myself. First, it performs flattening to the appropriate length. I usually use a grinding stone or angle grinder for this. Then I make a bevel of each tooth, measuring with a caliper. Of course, you can't get precision to the thousandth of a meter with this method, but it's sufficient for your own use. When sharpening the drill, I also make horizontal movements so as not to damage the surface of the ring, which is actually a grinding wheel. It makes the job difficult, but I don't have to smooth it out often with a special abrasive stone. I have not seen such a precisely presented reportage on KZbin so far (!). Congratulations and best regards 😀.

Hey Paul, I learned to hand sharpen bits in high school, a skill that is still with me to this day. A story to go with that skill: I was supervising the construction of an observatory. The crew assembling the steel frame for the dome was drilling bolt holes to secure the dome. They told me they had to stop for the day because all their 1/2” bits were to dull to continue. I asked if they had a hand grinder, they did. I clamped the grinder to a beam and quickly sharpened 6 bits. They where stunned that it A- could be done at all, and B- could be done using a hand grinder, C- that as a project manager I knew how to do something they didn’t … Cheers.

Nice one Paul, the diamond tipped dresser is great, taken from dressing tool and cutter or surface grinding wheels. Your just like myself, softer material to cut more acute angle harder more obtuse, I always just eyeball a good drill for the general angle. In terms of thining the web, we always done it as the drill length gets smaller as the web thickness increases for drill strength, so as you grind the drill down the top land increases, hence thining the web. A great tip for checking each cutting edge of the drill is at the right height is to screw a piece of soft metal against a wall, then a V piece of wood or metal at right angles to. This allows you to place your drill into the v block and rotate and scratch on the soft metal when both cutting faces scratch and follow the same lines as you rotate, then voila each cutting face is cutting at the same height Thanks again

When I have to drill say 1/2" holes by hand, I have found impact drill bits work amazing on steel, and no worry about the drill ripping your arm off when it catches near the end. It just doesn't catch using impact drill. Goes like butter, except when I had to drill through an area adjacent where I welded. That was no longer mild steel and it really dulled my drill bit. I have sharpened my own before on a grinder but your explanation was clear with the how and the why so I learned something and will do a better job with my impact bit - hopefully the geometry is similar.

I was a machinist at an aerospace company when I was tasked with sharpening drills for about 6 months. Drilling titanium and stainless needs a good sharp drill! We had so many drills we had to send them out to get sorted. During that time I developed "The Eye". I still use a drill gauge though to check flute length and angle so that the hole will be sure to drill on size. Pedestal grinders in a shop with many machinists, mechanics, and passersby meant the wheels always had rounded corners. That made thinning the web after hand sharpening a problem. By mounting a thin cutoff blade on the opposite end of the grinder, I was able to make a nice sharp "split-point" with a wheel that wouldn't get rounded corners.

Timing is amazing. As this was being posted I was picking up two big Kennedy chests from an estate sale. Just about every drawer has drill bits mixed in with the Starrett and miscellany, and some are filled with them. I have no way of knowing where he was throwing his dull bits, or keeping the best ones, but at least now I have a path to confidence. Thanks, Paul!

Hi Paul & Mitch, Great demo and explanation on the drill bit sharpening. My college machine shop teacher didn't explain it anywhere near that well! Thanks again!
