I've been a machinist twenty years,I know how to grind a drill by hand on a grinding wheel,it's a art in itself especially big drills,not many people know how to do it.

Yeah and you gotta do it regularly to stay in practice. I totally understand the process but never could quite get it right. So after several cheap sharpening gizmos i bought a drill doctor. Which works spectacularly well but only on drilld with a twist rate thats compatible with the indexing method. Those that arent end up just a blob at the end. Those that work look just like new bits, split point and all.

😂😂 30 seconds on a grinding wheel does it, you don't have to build bloody Noahs Ark.

Some kind of jig does help to get the angle right.

Never have I seen a more complicated way 😢

You left, "easily," behind after the fourth step.

No sign of any water to cool the work in this video... Of course a good mechanic would know this! 😢

I give it a bit more angle and definitely a back relief. Some ofy best drill bits. Kinda gives it a step up

How to take off a finger. Do not ever hold a piece of metal with your fingers while drilling. Use a vice grip or any other tool. Ask me how I know.

So what your saying is that you can't use your fingers to count to 10. Maybe pull them clod hoppers off & use your toes😅

So I need wood, bench saw, metal, angle grinder or buy a new drill ???

I hold it free hand and sharpen

Wow! The idea is so great, congratulations

I just use an ANGLE grider, Put the drill bit an a clamp angle myself and sharpen, my bit works really great after and that's it really......

Still waiting for the easy part

As boiler maker I can ensure you this is stupid I only need a bench grinder and if on site a grinder

I do the samething at work. But I don't need a block of wood and all that jazz. I just hold it up to a grinder. Use 2 nuts for a guide. Give it back relief....voila! Done!

Most of this was painful to watch. Not that hard to freehand once you learn the geometry of a drill. I find it very relaxing to sit down with good light preferably sun light and a pair of magnifiers on and sharpen 50 in one sitting. If im getting technical I'll use a gauge.

You have a talent my friend please continue to show simple ways to achieve mundane tasks. 👍🏻👍🏻

Safety was not present in any part of that demo it was notvdone properly and Noone should follow his lead.

that looks really easy 😂

How to sqharpen a wood flat bit?

Might of never been told this but... you're one sharp guy.

Love your enginuity and DIY skills! If you're looking for a new idea or challenge... I would love to see if you could design a "pruning shears" attachement for a cordless drill(!?) Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas!

Would be much easier to buy a new one. That was a huge time expense.

Think easier and faster, I will go buy a new one!!

The chips instead of a drill a spiral piece demonstrates a drill bit sharpened off center. Not east, not good results

Agreed with first comment, however injeneral good idear. One point however don't ever put metal any were near a sanding disk it will catch the wood dust alight on the bottom side, perfect tinder 😮

Its amazing man 😮

Why not just use and angle grinder with a grinding disc and sharpen at different angles?!

❤❤❤❤

Why was the demo with a different drill bit ?????

Yes sir!! Nice in a pinch but needs to be split point especially in steel.

It seems that the art of sharpening drill bits on a bench grinderhas been lost.

Good work

Sharpening a drill bit properly really isn't that hard. But that's not it. Look at the small chips. The bit is going to overheat in no time at all. Once you learn the basics you don't need any jigs or angle finders. Freehand. Been doing it since high school, when they taught you real world information

I would just use a grinding wheel if need be. If I'm in the shop i just use the thirty dollar drill doctor though lol time is money

Buena idea

Lmao, did I miss the “easy” part? Just go buy a new bit, if you’re using this week long project method of sharpening a drill bit…

What ever happened to the Drill Doctor for sharpening?

So for a 4 dollar drill I'm out an hour.... Really good video, but not the play for me homie!

Too much bull crap involved. Go buy a drill doctor and get it done quickly. Or simply throw out that dull bit and buy a new one.

Which country are you from

We have dramatically different definitions of "easily". They make drill bit sharpeners. Cheaply would have been a descriptor.

That wasn't even cheaply, as he needed a power saw, file, drill, drill bit (ironic), tap, screwdriver and disc sander..

Or get a new bit,whichever is easyer

I'd g-clamp that piece down mate or it'll catch you out one day!

If ya wanna lose a few fingers, follow his lead....

Please he got this!

who has all this equipment and time to do all this to sharpen a drill bit

My friend, you are an amateur. You simply don't know how to sharpen a drill bit, under what angle depending on the metal you want to drill. Only amateurs will sharpen a drill bit on the side of the grinder stone. In this case the drill bit will be sharpen innequally coz a bigger amount of metal will be polished from the right side of the drill bit compared with a smaller amount of metal polished on the left side. More than that, you haven't polished that drill bit on its back, that drill bit will cut 3 or 4 holes and then it will get burned. You better learn more and only then try to post here.

I am confused. Is hands not sufficient to sharpen it with sharpner, why use that wood tighten tool? Is it necessary??

You didn't explain in what position the drill bit has to be clamped. I refer in terms of rotation.

it's really great. i had a problem drilling steel. maybe you have some answers? there's a 5mm thick general-purpose steel that I had trouble drilling. With a new drill bit, after just 2 drillings, the bit loses its shape. Even when I change the drill bit, nothing happens. I can't drill any more.

Get better bits and dont let them get too hot. Use a lubricating oil, drill a bit and stop when it starts smoking, wait let cool and then drill some more.

@danalexandroaie3233

Coz you don't know how to sharpen a drill bit. You simply don't need that device coz using that device will prevent you rolling the drill bit in order to sharpen it properly. Read a book where a professional sharpen of a drill bit is described, than take that drill bit, make it straight and then sharpen it again, following those explanations. Anyway, the drill bit must be sharpened on the frontal side of the grinder stone, not on its side. Also take care to cool that drill bit in water periodically. Good luck!

Hey Dana lexan... I thought the same, BUT, on watching more closely you have to notice the cutting edge of the bit is vertical while fastened in the jig. Some audio to explain this might be necessary for first timers. I also sharpen mine by hand on the front of a grinding stone wheel. However this is a sanding pad and it's being used correctly.

What a lot of fuss and work. It would have been quicker and cheaper to buy a new drill.

Please sharpen your saw blade.

He is desplaying a lot of scrap instead of getting straight to the point

😂….ok good luck with that.

Wait, he needed a sharp drill bit in order to sharpen a drill bit?! 🤣 I'm sorry but I would just go out and buy a cheap little bit sharpening kit and call it a day.

Give me a grinding wheel and I can sharpen in about 30 seconds. A lot of wasted time. Good try

This is easy? Ok, if you say so.

Cool but not very easy

If you know how to, jig is pointless. And with this instruction loads of people will make scribes from drill bits 😅

He didn't grind any relief on the back side of each facet. That drill will make 2 holes, and then burn, losing the temper. If you don't understand what I have said, don't bother with this nonsense, just buy a new drill!

You may have the right idea, but your advice is pretty much just as bad as the dude making the video. Why would you buy a new drill when all you need is a new bit?

Your joking right. We just freehand sharpen drills on a bench grinder. You can use a scale to get flutes the same or you can buy drill sharpener guage. You can also relieve the backside. Get some experience and you'll be able to sharpen drills without making all that up.

Stop ..Just put it on your bench top grinder, you'll be finished in under a minute..

NOTHING ABOUT THIS SAYS EASY TO ME

How is this easy lol

You have to be kidding me… All that work just hold the drillbit up to a grinder?

I can sharpen by hand better lol drill was chipping swarf worst example of sharp drill I’ve ever seen!!!

How about the bit that is used for the "sharpened" test is NOT the one he supposedly sharpened 😂😂😂 It's a larger size and WAYYYYY shorter than the one he supposedly sharpened. Just saying!

All that for a £1 buy 😂😂😂😂

I can do it better free hand. This is the hard way.

No thanks. I will just buy a sharpening machine

Bullst

My my what a total waste of time.....

Don't follow this ! This is not the way and will be off-center

Cheaper to go buy one with all that effort

Your saw needs a new blade
