Very nice build. You could add a tray for all your dull drillbits to be collected in. And then when the tray is full. You can spend some time sharpening them all. Look forward to your next video.
Very nice project! ,, I’ve been side grinding on wheel for more than 40 years and I never had one or seen one explode, I think if it happens there might be a lack of common sense using this method, so great job!!
I think the CSK setting is countersink. I have a diamond lapidary disc with mist coolant in a similar set up that I use for sharpening braised carbide lathe bits, been meaning to add one of these sharpeners to it. Thanks for the tips! We had one of these sharpeners in a shop class in the 1960's and used the side of the wheel and no one died, plus you are standing to the side of it.
Exactly CSK is countersink bit, and the distance from the wheel sets the indexing of the cutting edge when it engages with the abrasive, so getting it wrong messes up the cutting edge and relief angles
I appreciate this video more than you might know. Finding information on how to set up this little tool is scarce as hens teeth. However, I found a user guide (I wish I could remember the site) that was not as useful as your demo. There was one instruction I remember that may be useful. The pamphlet stated that the drill should be approximately I/2 the diameter from the grinding wheel. I have yet to test that instruction. If you have time I would appreciate if you could check it out. Thanks for the video. KOKO!!
I have the same drill charpener , and when drilling hardend metal such as angle iron used to support bedong after sharpening I con drill the angle iron at the lowest speed on my drill press and am able 3 or 4 holes before sharpening more than that , you have to grind of more because the tip of the drill becomes smaller in dia. with heat bild up ....
Hi Lee, you should think about the distance of the jig to the wheel. How I know, the distance from the tip of the jig to the weel should be half the diameter of the drill. Otherwise you can get a wrong cutting angle.
Great project Mr. P. I've had one of these gadgets for a decade or so, in the box still. This may prompt me to actually get it out, and make something up. I'm thinking the box mine is in has "Snap-On" as the brand.
got one been sit-in on the shelf for a couple years maybe ill see if I can adapt it to my lathe cross slide I can cover the ways with a towel I do have a little green harbor freight belt sander I dont use I ll take a look after it gets light outside
I made one very similar but I used a tool grinder wheel instead a bench grinder wheel. Don't the manufacturers say don't grind on the side of their stones?
Lee you still at the same ole grind lol looks great Happy Easter now after I finish my coffee I get to go out to the shop and build me one thanks buddy lol Lee question would a plug and play inline foot control be an advantage that switch off and on would get to a feller after a bit ( pun intended) especially if you had several to do what do you think sir?👍👍
A damage bit must be sharpend a little bit on each flut ,then resharpend a second time and possibly a third if you take to much of the first time the fluts become uneven .....
Nice build. However, grinding on the side of a grinding wheel is a bad idea. I realize you are not exerting a lot of pressure. That said, if a drill bit digs in for whatever reason, you are going to explode the wheel.
Right out of high school I worked for a few years in a foundry. The castings were deburred on grinders. Every now and then someone would test the theory and bust a wheel. It’s pretty violent. I’ll concede that’s not the same as sharpening a drill bit, but if you bind the side of the wheel it could get your attention. I’m far from a safety nut. OSHA would be horrified in my shop. I was just making an observation.

Thank you for showing us this project. Like you, I have all the parts and the tool as well. You’ve encouraged me to build it with your video.

Great job.
So THAT’S what it takes to make that General bit sharpener work. Well, nuts, I threw mine away. Thanks for the lesson Mr. Lee.
Nice shop project Lee.
The effort put into this will pay off for years.
Nice job.
Thanks for sharing.
Well done Lee, looks and operates great.
Nice job. Well thought out project and great results. Thank you.

That was a very valuable video for me as I plan to build just such a device. Happy Easter.

I use that same General jig for my drills. Works pretty good for a cheap jig
I have one...and it works like a charm !!!

ive been using one for years. on my little horzantal mill it solves all those issues.

if the bit is HSS you cant get it too hot and loose the temper even if it turns blue its not hurt

Lee I don’t know what you have in the whole rig. However it is less expensive than I have in my SRD drill sharpener, i bought it used.

Just curious what you are basing this observation on?

could you sharpen end mills with this
👍👍😎👍👍
👍🏻
CSK = Countersink 👍
Nice build! Curious though, you said it would never “spark out”. Why is that? You’re not advancing the bit towards the wheel as you grind.
Well I guess it would eventually spark out, that was a bit of a miss statement. 😀
I use mine with a CBN wheel and even that takes several passes to spark out😅. Must just be a little flex in the tool but it works great.
CSK stands for countersink I believe
CSK countersink.
