I am a machinist/toolmaker and will never use this jig. Agree, it does drill the hole in the video, however, as the drilling process started I can see that the drill is not done properly. Unfortunately, this is not the correct way !

I am almost 84. I have watched thousands of KZread videos on topics from an atom to zebra fish. My grandfather was a wheelwright in West Virginia I have a natural affinity for working with wood. This video, by a knowledgable craftsman, is the Best Presentation I have ever seen on the Internet. Congratulations & Thanks!

Thanks Jim. It is always gratifying to hear that someone finds useful information on my channel. Thanks for watching and taking your time to write. Keep in touch and thanks. Allan

Thanks for this! I build one and it works super well! I never successfully sharpened any drills before, but it works now. I found that cutting the relief is most important. I made my jig so the sled has a grove and the bench grinder now has a channel to slide along.

THANK YOU ! I've read a few articles on bit sharpening and viewed the countless pictures they contained, but there's nothing like watching it being done . Great explanation and very good views of the process.

Another great advancement!.. One that shares it free!.. To help the average mechanic do better job sharpening his bits!.. Good man!..deserves everyone's support!.. How many just go shopping to get new bits!.. every time they need a bit to just do the job???...

Ennél egyszerűbb,és olcsóbb megoldást még nem láttam! GOOD VIDEO !!!!

One of the best methods for sharpening a bit I have seen.

This is the best video on the topic. An easy to do sure fire way. You will always get the angle right because of the jig. Also I like how the effectiveness of sharpening is proven by actually drilling into metal. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent, I have tried, jigs, (both shop made and commercial) and free handing, but this is THE clearest and seemingly simple method I have seen. Thank you for sharing. You are a natural teacher.

Thanks. Good technique. I have a ton of old drill bits that are useless. This could save me a lot of money and I hand sharpened them.

Thanks for this video I love it when obviously talented people give usefull and simple advise without all the any pretence Like everyone else Im of to sharpen a box of bits Thanks mate

a very good instructional video for the home handyman, good focus on all the elements required for maintaining a sharp edge on your bits, thanks Woodman.

Thanks for sharing this knowledge. This will greatly improve my freehand approach. Looking forward to watching 2nd video.

Precise sharpening guide i will make one for me cause im using drill bits often im a goldsmith and also a welder hobbiest this will help a lot thank you very much for sharing. More power to you.

Can’t chat, got a massive tub of old bits to sharpen. Great video my friend. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video. Success! Thanks for the work you put into helping people for free.

Thanx! Thats gonna be my new way of sharpening my drills.

WOW, Whatever you are doing,, it works.. I will be making one of these jigs and trying it myself as I have lots of bits that won't go through hot butter.. Thanks for showing us that jig ....

I watched this video years ago and always had it in the back of my mind. A couple days ago I was drilling through steel and the bit wasn't going anywhere. I decided to just touch it up on the grinder and see what happens. I did it free hand and was sloppy but it literally took 15 seconds. Went back to the workpiece and was drilling through the steel like it was pine. Perfect, long spiral shavings. My mind was blown. Had to come back to see the jig. Now I see you're offering it for sale. I could make my own but will probably buy one just to show my support. Thank you!

Very good I`m like you on freehand, the point keeps growing, thanks

Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I an very glad to see kind of men like you thats helping people all over the word . God bless you ... this vide showing the best way to tech how to sharp ... thanks again .

Really the best sharpening video I've seen. Great job.

Allen you have one of the most in depth channels on the tube. If it is your subject matter you cover the bases well. Your videos are jam packed with information and you are well aware of the safety aspect. You don't shove safety down my throat but give me the dangers and risks. Thank you for all you do.

A very helpful video. Thanks for your honesty about misplacing your sharpening device. I now know, it is not just me that misplaces a tool or neat device that I built to make jobs easier. Carry On Sir!

There was a chain called “Tool Depot” that I used to take my drill bits to for sharpening. They have now gone out of business. Your video got me trying this on my own and this has worked out wonderfully. Thanks for sharing this video and your great insights.

outstanding I really like seeing stuff done the old fashioned way good for the brain not to many old schoolers around who can do this and to many machines out there that claim to do a good job some can with practice but who has all that time when there work to do thanks this would have been how my grand father would have sharpened a bit all though I have seen him with out a peace of wood I like your idea and I really like your idea with the wood

hey woodguy, sweet video, thank you very much from the UK!

great vid, been sharpening bits for 40 years by hand but that was before I saw this video. Thank you!

uglyfrog Thanks. I know a lot of guys can do it by hand but this jig sure helps when you are working fast or tired.

One Kool way to get bits sharpen fast. Thank you

😲 wow! Simply terrific job! Brilliant idea 🙂💡 👏 you've completely simplified this subject for me! Thanks 🙏 awesome that you've shown your freehand option also. I have a bunch of destroyed cobalt and titanium bits I've been saving until I purchase a bit grinder. Now I have a free option. Thanks for taking the time to make an excellent video👍 take care ✌️😎

Drill bits have always been a challenge for me. Love the jig. Very busic but it works

that slightly muffled sound of the no load grinder doing a beat function at 18:26 - 18:46 is so soothing. Put that on a loop and play it at night to go to sleep

Simple, Efficiency, You work well and clean with 59 degrees and 0 degrees in the center, wish you the best inventions and thank you for your contribution.

It just makes you feel good about life knowing you have a set of sharp drill bits (why?) cheers

great simple jig that I am making in the morning, thanks mate you have just saved me money and time

I have used a lot of drill bit jigs, but yesterday, July 30 2014, I watched your video and made the jig you had. My bits are now sharp. Thanks. Gene Frost, TX

I've watched a number of videos on this subject tonight and yours is the simplest and most effective for an old codger like me. Thank you very much. Going to watch the one on how to make the wooden thingy with the groove in it now.

Make sure your rest board, or at least you bit will sit above the center line of the wheel so your cutting edge angle isn't ass backwards and then this is a good idea.

@@ravenshield7823 Thanks for the tip. I actually made mine out of a bit of scrap steel and put a couple of clips on it so that it's always in the same place when I attach it to the grinder. I might be able to grind a bit off the back edge so that it tips up a little at the front.

Thanks for sharing this, I use to sharpen my drill bits freehand and most of the time I don't get the right angle and shape of the bits. Now I can..

Holy crap. This changes everything. Thank you Thankyou

Real easy jig to make and use. I have been sharpening my drill bits by hand for the last 42 years however my eye sight is definitely not what it was, your jig will make things much easier

Great drill bit sharpening technique! Thank you sir! Long live!

Thank you for the jig idea. Made one and promptly fixed some drills that were broken in half and now they are just shorter than they were new, but cutting nicely.

Sharpening broken drills only works marginally. This is because the web thickness increases the further you are from the designed cutting edge. This forces the larger non cutting web to have to plunge through the material or requires a larger pilot hole.

Simple and effective. Thanks a lot for sharing!!

I really love this technique. It's simple to understand

The jig is on the list to make. Thank you. Great info.

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing your skill. Saved me a ton of frustration.

Nice, I have a 3 lb coffee can half full of broken and burnt bits , headed to the shop to find my protractor.😀. I used a lot of bed frames to make things that are free at the local dump thay are very hard and strong but hard on drill bits. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Nice and simple. Tx for posting.

Simple but very efficient, great job mate 👍

Very interesting video! And impressive too with the those humongous bits! I'm making one for my bench grinder at the moment - can't wait!!

WOW!!! Nice, a really educational type of video for the DIY. Thanks

Simple and effective,best idea i have seen yet and i shall make one.Thanks.

Thank You! AskWoodMan! I've got a Porter Cable bench grinder and found that it's already got a 118° jig built in. Always wondered what that was for! You've saved me hundreds in drill bits, and my Backyard Roller Coasters will be that much better for it. Thanks!

Thanks for writing Will. Glad that video helped. Sharp drill bits are a joy and dull ones are one of the most maddening thing ever. Do you know I have a Welding For Woodworkers series? Welding is easy and fun and does not take a big investment. Could be a good fit for your coasters. The beauty is that with welding steel can be used and reused and modified in a way wood can't. Anyway all the best with your roller coaster. It looks like a lot of fun to build. Allan

Thanks for this video. It is very helpful and understandable.

Great videos 1 & 2 ! I got a Drill Dr for $12 when the local hardware store went out of business. It does a good job but I have to read the instructions for 10 minutes before I use it. I think your method is more intuitive and better and available to anybody who has a table saw.

Your simple application showing how to sharpen drill bits of deferential size really excited, thanks you for sharing your talent/know how once ang. Thanks from phil.isabelcar.

Good methods for save money and time. Thank you.

Great video, a lovely little jig, thanks

why do I like this guy? Excellent video by the way.

Excellent. 👍😄🏻 I was surfing for to procurement drill grinding attachment. While i got this vdo. Good idea. Tomorrow i will try on this. Thanks a lot. 🙏🏻

Thanks David. I know this is not a precision machine shop method, but just a technique for us small shops to get our work done with what we have without breaking the bank. Thanks for watching. It is always gratifying when I hear from people who find some useful information on my channel. Allan

Thanks. What I really like about this setup is that it can be done right in the middle of a drilling operation with practically no time wasted. Stop, touch up and get back at it. Thanks for watching. Allan

Great little jig!! I was trained to sharpen drills free hand using gauges if it needed to be super accurate. A skill not many have been able to learn from experience of trying to teach over the years and whether it's just coincidental but sharpening drills more and more pointy is usually the most common mistake I see in the workshop also !!! I can definitely see how this could benefit the workshop!! And so simple to make!! Great video 👍

today i learn one new thing, that is sharpening twisted drill bits! thank you.

Really thank you for all this info and knowledge you share with us novices🤣🤣 you've got talent amigo gracias and God bless..

Gracias, Gracias, Gracias. Las tres veces con mayúsculas. He visto muchos vídeos sobre cómo afilar brocas y el suyo me ha parecido una buenísima forma de hacerlo. Es fantástico. Impresionante y sencillísimo de hacer. Fenómeno, muchas gracias.

very good teaching and explanations, very practical too! thks a lot!!
