Howdy, hey y'all, is it possible fo "freshen-up" a drill bit if one has no power tools ? By using a file ??

Think of a "field" condition, like in a sailboat or out in the ranch...

Godspeed

@canals22 Not a file. A hone and 3 hours.

Now I know why that drill bit sharpening jig I bought never worked.....wrong application! It seems it's for sharpening hammers!

(II have one absolutely identical to that one, even with the instructions I couldn't figure out what to do with it)

[mrpete222]

@batvette That was a good one!!!!!

[st00pidity]

would uneven sides cause smaller bits to walk on mild steel?

[mrpete222]

@st00pidity Not walk, but drill an oversize hole. This is sometimes done on purpose.

Mr. Cain

What do you think of the drill dr?

[bradenn]

Ha! I agree with your thoughts on the drill sharpening fixtures, hahahaha. That was very unexpected! Great video, It would be awesome to be a student of yours.

After viewing several videos on drill bit sharpening yours was by far the most informative and professional. You mentioned restoring damaged bits by cutting off a portion of the tip and I assume grinding it down. I have a large project using stainless steel which has burned a few of my bits. Could you create a video detailing how to restore these damaged bits ? It would be greatly appreciated considering the expense of these bits. Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for this and all of your videos. I am 45 years old, and I am ashamed to say I have never understood drill bit sharpening until now. You made it crystal clear for me. Thanks again.

Thanks for the videos, I learned a lot. Quick question. What brand of drill bits would you recommend for doing basic metal fabrication.  Mostly 1/8" to 1/4" steel. I would like to invest in a decent set of bits that will last me a while.

Dear Sir, thank you for this awesome how to video. Not only have I learnt how to finally sharpen my bits, I am going to take this video over and show my 70 year old neighbour how to do it. I am sure he will love this as much as I have. Thank you so much for your excellent teaching style and for passing your wisdom and experience on to others. Kindest regards from Australia.
