Sharpen your drill bits - I've done thousands but its really easy

Don't bother with sharpening jigs! Most people look at a drill bit and think it must be hard but with a couple of simple tricks, anybody with a grindstone, a steady hand and good eyes can do it. I made it a habit of getting all my year 11 and 12 students to sharpen drills over 6mm but they had to check with me when they finished. An off centre drill will cut on one side and drill a wider hole. Remember, the first place a drill gets hot is the outside corner. Stop and sharpen up.
