how to sharpen drill bits in 2022, simple drill jig

Here you can see a simple but very effective method of sharpening drill bits with drill jig.

I made a simple jig for the bench grinder that makes it very easy to sharpen drill bits. They will be as sharp as new ones.

This is the simplest idea so far that is actually working !

The 180 degrees flipping solution is very good. And I think you lifted the drill bit a little on the first grind pass, a functionality which comes free with your setup.

Great jig ! And nice video ! Thanks a lot!

Honestly you should patent this and sell it. I despise sharpening drill bits, I’m never happy with the results and this design looks amazing. Your jig for setting up the able on the wheel to the guide bar is awesome too and it’s something most people won’t be able to fabricate without a CNC. Do it and I’ll be one of your first customers.

Sweet! The beauty is in the simplicity that guarantees symmetrical faces. Rotating the drill holder 180 degrees and dropping the drill into the V slot does it all!

That’s absolute amazing. Thank you so much! I have a Grindr with some very flimsy sheet rests, and so I was looking at your other video to help set up something more substantial. This is an obvious Nextep and I’m so thankful that you took the time to explain it to us.❤

Every way I try to think to improve your design ends up with me understanding why you made choices you did, and I'm impressed repeatedly. If you foresaw in advance all those implications and then called your design simple, I give up. Thank you for sharing 🤩

Excellent, great. Thank you so much. This is a simple one compared to the ones I have seen

Thank you, this is a nice design. i made many different jig gor drill sharpening before but this looks simple and accurate.
How to cut centre slots without cnc?
I thought about splitting the wood in the middle, cut the slots together on the tablesaw and glue back together again, ?
that way the slot s should be straight and with precise width.

I find that the rounded back relief drills better then a square back relief

[marcwight]

That's really cool. I would be interested in purchasing or if you can provide the plans.

[peterpocock]

Nice solution. But, how small a drill can you go down to? I find the weeny drills the trickiest to sharpen!

[mrmyorky]

An excellent and well thought out idea.

Hola excelente idea. Podrias compartir el lick de descarga del plano cnc me gusto tu idea

[kyungjaYang]

You said "important is that the cutting edges of the drill bit need to be parallel to the top edge of the jig". Then, if the drill bit size is different, do you need multiple jigs? Or is there a way to use multiple drill bits of different sizes in one jig?

I grind by hand. Anything 5/32" diameter or larger is pretty easy. Split points are difficult.

Hi,
Excellent, first put the angle at 118 degrees and install the drill bit, then somersault it on the other side and at the same angle. This makes the drilling centered
The degree of inclination of 10 degrees is also excellent.
And manufacturing the piece of wood on the router machine gives us precision in the design of the piece.
Thank you so much

Nice jig is it possible to sent me the dimensions for the jig or some sort of template please already built your jig for small drills. Thank you Martin

[mwjc]

Great so all I need now is a cnc router

[terenceduggan]

Hi Andy. Great Jig. Would you let me have the sizes & details of it so I can make one and get all my drill bits like new again. Thanks for any help Andy.

[nikosk]

Thank you. Very nice and helpful video.

[mrkalikutista]

I dont have a cnc, can you please show me the drawing template for the 10 degree angle? I will try to fabricate it, i have only hacksaw 😢
