Thank you for NOT spending 10 minutes talking about drill bits. It is nice to see a video that just shows you 'how to' instead of spending too much time rambling on and on.
Heyyyyyy, wassup guys, don’t forget to subscribe and don’t forget to hit up my patreon, and don’t forget to. INSERT ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS INTRO, DUBSTEP MUSIC THROUGH WHOLE OF VIDEO. Ten minutes later, drill bit sharpening.
I have to thank to owner of this video. I have sharpening experience on knives but not on drilling bits. After i watched this video and sharped one of my old bits, and voila it drills perfectly.
This is impressive. I've spent many years grinding twist drills like this. I watched a UA-cam film about doing this drill grinding and it lasted 12 minutes and was TOTALLY boring. My comment was that if my lesson on teaching apprentices this skill took so long, they would have been nodding off. This is NOT boring, it's quick and to the point. Cheers.
Good technique, free hand on a bench grinder works for me. Been dressing drills like in your video for 25+ yrs. Dressing the stone often for best results. Good job!
My first week at the toolmakers where I served my time, I’m now 54 and still turning, were spent grinding a box of 200 drills. When at last I finished them all, someone put a big flat on the front and told me to do them again! I have been the ‘go to’ man to grind up hss and carbide drills at 3 of the 8 companies I’ve worked for. Good video by the way. If it cuts good size with a decent finish then the job’s a gud’n.
@@ChrisBrown-dy8ts I was 100% manual until 7 years ago and have been CNC since. I miss the hands on side of manual but CNC is a lot easier on my aching back! As much as I am reasonably competent programming and setting, i don’t feel fully skilled on that side of it and I still consider myself a conventional turner.
Thank you Thomas Fox for this video about drill bit sharpening. It is by far the best on You Tube, and believe me, I have watched many other video's on the subject and every time I came away more confused than before.
This is one of the best video instructions of drill sharpening I have ever seen. I have been a machinist/toolmaker for 40 years. Yes I am sharing this.
Really? I'd rather twist my wrist a little bit instead of this mess. I think it's easier to keep both cutting faces aligned and the angle the same by resting the drill on two fingers and twisting/raising it with the other hand. I was only a lathe operator for a few years but that's how everyone in the shop sharpened drill bits, from 1/8" to 1-1/2" or bigger.
Thanks for the video. I'm retired but I was the go to person at the mill that I worked for in the machine shop when the 15"×20"×20" crate became full of dull, broken bits. I continued using the old method of sharpening that my Machine Tool Technology instructor taught in the mid seventies. We made a jig to help with the angle 《°30》, but it was a way that I've never seen anyone else use and it worked quite well. Basically, everything was done by eye and experience and it is a technique where the drill bit is rolled down as it is being ground. I'm impressed with the way you did the work in your very informative, well explained video .Thanks again and please continue to post more videos .
Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to comment. As the saying goes about skinning a cat, so too with sharpening a drill bit, and it sounds as though your shop added another method to the book! I hope to post more videos soon, once I get a few pressing jobs completed!
Rollimg doesnt evern freaking matter. Its a relief grind, that part never contacts the material. Some people get way too anal about dumb stuff. The cutting edge matters only. The relief can be ground any way you want to get the drill material out of the way for clearance.
Old tool and die maker here. We always established the cutting angle then dropped your left hand slowly down to supply clearance for the cutting angle. One continuous movement on each cut surface. Gets very easy when you do it to 4-5 drills per day. Usually less that 60 seconds at the grinder and back to work. Makes you appreciate good tool steel drills that hold a cutting edge a long time. You knew if you had crappy tool steel after the first sharpening.
Best informative video ever great job. Like to comment I read before no one wants to listen to a bunch of gibberish about nothing straight to the point very helpful thanks
This one is nice. Great! Thanks. The bit sharpened by you in the video looks perfect, much better than by those off the shelf sharpeners. I admire your precision skill!
In the end, both the stepped method and the single angle are good I think. What's important is the control of the drills' speed and temperature during drilling. Very good instructional video.
Thank you. I have much the same outlook. High drill speeds in metal, especially when enlarging an existing hole, are very hard on bits, and can ruin their cutting edges in no time. For most of us, taking an extra 10 seconds to drill a hole for the sake of doing a good job is a small sacrifice to make.
@@TEFox You are right, also, a drop of Kero or WD 40 can assist and DON'T use high pressure, handle it gently, the bits last longer too if you use around 500 RPM rather than a faster speed.After twenty odd years experience,I have yet to have a failure using this method,well done and thank you for a great video.
Thank you! I've never been able to get a feel for drill bit sharpening. This method with your multiple camera angles worked great for me. 3/4" bit went from chattering and smoking to chips flying.
I'm not saying that my bench grinding skills are poor when it comes to drill clearance and rake angle adjustments but i once drilled a square hole! Lol Seriously though, it took me years to get it right and even now some 50 year's gone bye i can't make it look easy the same as you. Good video and cheers. 👍
Thanks for the kind words. Fear not, there's been R+D teams that have spend thousands of dollars developing bits to drill square holes - you might be onto something!
I wish i could have seen this 50 years ago ! Man oh man the sweat this could have saved me over the years.I just tried it out with a lil grinding wheel & a dewalt drill .I made a hole through 1/4 " steel in no time with a 15/32 bit.
I am always both amused and perplexed by the varying opinions all over youtube about how certain things should be done. (Sharpening a chainsaw would have to be the biggest topic of debate). Then we get the criticisms in the comments sections by those who swear the video is "totally wrong". All the alpha males and obsessive compulsive perfectionists come out of the woodwork to try to out-knowledge each other with their varying years of experience ... 10, 25, 50+, inferring that they must be more right than another by virtue of years in the workshop. From an amateur handyman and outsider's p.o.v., I see that the truth MUST BE that there are many, many ways to do the same thing (eg sharpening a twist drill) which varies according to different job types, material types, drill types, costing factors, equipment on hand, manufacturers specs, old timers' methods, etc, etc. I guess, unless you are a PhD in drill technology, who has worked for 100 years doing just that, and have travelled all over the world to see all ways of drill sharpening, and written numerous manuals about drill sharpening, then you do not know all truths about drill sharpening and may have (shock horror!) something left to learn from someone else. I am always wary of experts and specialists who say another is "just plain wrong". Usually it's just a sign of arogance, a closed mind, and a butthurt little narcissist.
I don't know I think it is great to watch people talk and hash stuff out this is where we all can learn from it isn't a one way process and each person may add a little to come up with an even better over all solution. Learning a skill takes 20 hours. Mastery of that skill comes in at around 6-10 years depending on the person and the intervals of time. Some folks can achieve mastery in less time I'd estimate 3 years if they really spend a lot of time dedicated to the skill about 8 to 10 hours a day. But the other side of the equation is that some may never fully bloom into mastery because they make lack a certain critical element. 100 years is a bit like a man on the moon belief. I get the whole I'm rednecker than u argument the old measuring party. Many folks are very comparative this does not make them alpha males typically Beta Males acting out is what it really boils down to. The true alpha lets actions speak once in a while just enough to let folks know where they really stand when they get over zealous. Type A doesn't make you alpha either. It just means you get turned up too easy lol. I think we have way too much confusion on what is alpha and what is beta. The alpha just knows they don't need people to tell them or pat them on the back or pat themselves on the back. A leader may lead with a thousand words a master can lead without uttering a single word.
wow I never realized there was so many experts on drill bit sharpening until I read you comments ! I can tell you sir I can fuck up a drill bit faster than anyone
@@mymusicaccount1456 It does work, especially if you're drilling through metal repeatedly - there's no reason to keep buying new drill bits, which can be expensive (decent ones are £5 - £15 each). You can actually get a drill bit sharpener that works by putting onto the end of a drill.
👍👍I've been sharpening bit like that as well. It's a quick & effective way. Might not be the "correct" way to some, but it has always made a happy hole. Time is money, I've used the drill doctor & others but I prefer this method.
what you did was so cool , it did not need any explanation , your video made it look so easy ,simple and to the point. i have been sharpening bits this way know with great results . Thanks 100 likes from me!!!
Wow! That drill bit looked a lot better than many NEW ones. Economy brands I mean. That looks like it will cut, it would have been nice to show us some chips right at the end. I've seen new drill bits in a set, where every point seemed different. Ah, I do this myself but it doesn't come out so well, so faceted looking. I'm going to try harder!
I find having something to safely rest a pinky on to help steady the hand makes the job much easier. I don't advise using the wheel cover like I am guilty of doing quite often.
Took me 3x to watch video to work out what was going on, as it appeared you were repeating the same procedure. Then I noticed the other smaller screen, and it made complete sense. Thank you for the presentation, as I now know the correct procedure.
Son adım bilemeniz elmas uç bileme şekline geldi.Tabiki delme işleminide demir ,saç ve ahşap üzerindeki etkilerini görmek anlam katar diye düşünüyorum.Malumumuz üzerine matkap uç ve açıları malzeme cinsine göre bilenmektedir.Sonraki aşamalarda ,yeni yetişen çalışanların büyük çoğunluğu, matkap bilemeye merak sarmamış olup,zaman zaman sıkıntı yaşamaktadırlar.Bu duruma, mahçubiyeti de eklediğimiz de, paylaştığınız paylaşımlar büyük ölçüde katkı verecektir.İyi çalışmalar diliyorum.
I have used this method many times myself, something else that works in a pinch is a whetstone for sharpening knives. There's nothing like a sharp bit and after it being dull it will make all the difference
Search for video about sharpening twist drill bits. Look down the list of suggestions....winner is 1 minute 37 seconds!! 3.1 million views, good for you!!
Depends what tungsten bits you are using. Masonry bits do not need to be sharp as they crush the material via impact. Those tungsten tipped "drillzall" bits so often seen on informercials will accept a similar grind and work just fine.
Wow i would of liked a 30min speech on how you hold your fingers and what grinder you were using and what neighbour hood you lived in and what the weather was like, instead I got a quick simple no BS on how to sharpen a drill bit. Miracles do happen 🙏😂
I bought a drill bit sharpener with corundum. Though it's limited to more than 1mm drill bits. Hard sharpened like this will still be needed for some drill bit types (like the one with pilot point and double beveled ones).
This technique works great, but if you made the bit get too hot beforehand, you might want to re harden it, because otherwise it won’t cut no matter how sharp you get the bit
HSS drills do not suffer from tempering during use like the old carbon steel bits. To get a HSS bit hot enough to temper the steel would require destroying the bit in use. Sudden thermal shock (say quenching in water when very hot) can cause microfractures in the cutting edges but if it is still cool enough to not burn you, you are usually fine dipping it in water to cool off while grinding. Carbon steel bits however will change their temper if you glare at the hard enough.

AMEN these channels with 2 minute intros, then they start off with the dawn of time explanation on what a drill bit is....lol
Finally, a video straight to the point. No nonsense music, nor verbose rhetoric. No children. No dogs. No advertising. Thank you.

You Sir, sure make that look so easy. Thanks for showing me your skills.
Damn, looks better than brand new bits. Well done.
I have used this method many times myself, something else that works in a pinch is a whetstone for sharpening knives. There's nothing like a sharp bit and after it being dull it will make all the difference
If you stick the flats of two large nuts together with superglue, the resulting 'V' is the correct grinding angle. Good vid Thx!

i really dont care if i spend 1 year just for learn this method, soo simple and quick but not easy i think. :)
Excellent video
@Thomas Fox thanks for sharing this video ,were both doing same style on how to sharpen a drill bit on free hand

Excellent job.
Good sir Small video and nice explanation
Very very very excellent I like it
fuck that explains it so much better than anyone thats tried to teach me. props for the profile shot in the corner. it helped!
Harder than it looks. After years as an electrician never got the hang of it. Great to see it one right though.
I get it to either squeak well and not do anything or bite like an axe in wood and try breaking my wrists
This technique works great, but if you made the bit get too hot beforehand, you might want to re harden it, because otherwise it won’t cut no matter how sharp you get the bit
HSS drills do not suffer from tempering during use like the old carbon steel bits. To get a HSS bit hot enough to temper the steel would require destroying the bit in use. Sudden thermal shock (say quenching in water when very hot) can cause microfractures in the cutting edges but if it is still cool enough to not burn you, you are usually fine dipping it in water to cool off while grinding.
Carbon steel bits however will change their temper if you glare at the hard enough.
