As the drill cut through the metal after it had been sharpened, the metal coming off the drill bit were in small flakes. A properly sharpened drill will create two continuous curls of metal.

an appropriate measure of caution addresses that. NO excess pressure on the bit, dont need to anyway, just shaving a fraction of a mm to restore the sharp edge. also regarding the guard, at times they are the SOURCE of the safety hazard, like a skill saw where the guard wants to 'flop down' and interfere with the movement of the blade. in all cases however SAFETY GLASSES OR DO *N-O-T* proceed. and no helpful kids allowed either. end result save $100s in replacement bits and time to fetch them.

Later working in a machine shop I learned the different grinds for brass, aluminum, stainless and so forth. All done by hand.

Great idea for on-site quick sharpening...Machinists would not like this method however, they'd probably maintain the angle at 118 degrees also. Not enough clearance angle either. To correct this the piece of angle extrusion bolted to the grinder needs to make an angle of approx 12 degrees to the wheel...but how will you grip a small drill say 3mm?

"Misinformation, Endangerment, Great potential for harm."

Ignore the final shot of the drill drilling. This method won't work. The drill material immediately behind the cutting edge needs to be backed off. ie. removed to give some clearance. Otherwise the drill will just rub. It's a useful idea for getting the correct angle, though.

The 120 degree angle of the hexagonal nut is incorrect and will introduce flaws to the drill. Don't do it this way.

I think I would do the same principle here, but use a bench grinder instead of a cut off tool. I sure hope you were wearing at the least some eye protection! Also be sure to make sure you take off the same amount of stock on both sides of the drill bit to prevent drilling oversized holes. This can done by using a scale, measure point to point on each side of the drill bit.

@tipsintelligent2605

Do it on a bench grinder, start at the edge and turn the bit slightly whilst lifting the point or dropping the end to keep the rake angle.

Two problems I see: 1. Removing the guards and using a thin cutoff wheel in this manner is very dangerous, should the wheel shatter. At the very least, use a thick grinding wheel for this. 2. The heat generated by grinding at the end of the bit will probably ruin the temper, resulting in the bit being softened and losing some cutting ability/lifespan.

Tbh, I just sharpen by hand and eyesight on a bench grinder and never had any issues

Grinding on the side of a cut off disc is dangerous, also your system creates a flat sided point with no rake angle which stops the drill from cutting correctly. There are no secrets to drill sharpening. You can either do it, or waste time inventing junk.

I'm a Scientific Instrument Maker by trade with secondary trade qualifications as fitter and first class machinist, and I can say this method will not work, is unsafe (downright dangerous actually, because it requires side grounding on a cutting disk). In particular it will not provide the required clearance angle behind the cutting edge or provide for other point angles if required. Careful observation of the drill after allegedly sharpening by this method shows a clearance angle which was not present immediately after grinding. I can only conclude the author is lying and actually ground the drill using an offhand grinding machine to provide a clearance angle after the alleged method was used.
