 Need of some "old school" knowledge! - Sharpening bits
I'm a hobbyist machinist! I've been doing this afew years now. Normally I pick up older machines, rebuild them to the best of my ability and try to use them to their extend. Same goes for cutting tools ...ie drill bits. I get old drill bits (usually with a #2 or #3 MT shank) clean them up and try to sharpen them ...per my high school shop training (or what I remember of it). Seem to be semi successful on larger bits (over 3/4" dia.). But I have trouble with the smaller ones (especially below 1/2"dia.) ...primarily because I don't think I know how to deal with the smaller bits. SO can anybody point me to where I could get some info on how to hand grind these and reamer too (I just picked up a number of them too)?
YES I've tried "googling" ...but most of what I'm finding is "Drill Doctor" type machines. I'm looking for old school hand grinding techniques!! THX! ...Mark
