My Drill Sharpener Mk2, Part 2

- Hi, this is the second of two videos showing you how I made my drill sharpener.
This is the mark two version which is more successful than the first one I made. I do hope you enjoy it. I still have to experiment with different cutting wheels, wheel profiles and techniques and that may mean making another video showing the process I've used. My thanks to those who have contacted me wanting items making or modifying but, I am truly overwhelmed by the amount of work I have at the moment, please don't be offended if I have to turn down requests.
Please remember this video, as with all my videos, shows you what I went through to make something and does not in anyway attempt to instruct you how to do things.
Regards.

Thank you for using your hermaphrodite calipers properly to scribe. Everyone else abuses their measuring calipers to do that.
Paul, I thought for sure that at some point your finger was going to slip off the "Shock absorber" and you were going to yet half of it across your workshop! LOL Anyways, great work!
Hey Paul, great work! I really appreciate the time and effort that you put into your videos - many thanks indeed. I'm setting up my workshop right now and you are inspirational! Keep up the great work. Greetings from Southport (it's not in the South and it's not a port! - go figure!). Cheers, Kevin.
Hi Kevin. mmmm… Liverpool district. anyway, thanks for your comments. cheers
Very interesting build. Very nice work, and way to persevere. If you had to put a price on it, I wonder what it would cost to build one to accommodate larger drills such as 1 inch? I only ask because I just bought a drill bit sharpener from Vevor, and it goes up to 1/2 in. The cost was $240.00 minus various discounts. This sharpener if it is only limited by collet size would be an excellent idea. I'm considering getting into machine work as a hobby as I have just recently retired myself. I may need some projects to keep me busy. Happy machining, regards Jeff. Congratulations on the sale of your home.
Hi, thanks for your comments, and I wish you all the best with your future endeavours, If I could ever give you one peice of advice that will always keep you in good stead,... That is, I would always advise you to have, and know where the fastest method to stop the machine you are about to work, preferably somewhere on your exit route. Live by this rule, and you will live to see another day. All metalwork machines are designed to kill you if you ever make a mistake. All the very best.
The only time I found a need to have a drill sharpening device was when drilling 2mm diam holes in some 316 stainless so I designed and made a Wishbone type drill sharpener that allows you to hand sharpen drills down to .5mm diam......this type was common in the 50's for sharpening small drills.
Lately I've thought about the 4 facet drill grinding method and with a new T&C grinder build I'll be trying that out.......I think the Deckel type T&C grinder would do that nicely.
Hi, yes I remember seeing the wish bone types being used in the tool room for the less important jobs. I belive that any sharpening method that sharpens the drill bit to cut true is a good thing.
Regards
You could charge oh maybe $50 - $75 American for a set of plans that you could distribute electronically.
Can’t do that… it’ll exceed my tax threshold. Nice idea though..👍
Blooming brilliant. I have a small engineering workshop where I do whatever comes in the door. I have built several pieces of equipment to make my life easier including a automatic feed for the band saw a RHS bender and a machine that crimps RHS to fit neatly inside 50m RHS. For years I have sent out my larger diameter twist drills to be professionally sharpened once a year to bring them back in the specifications. This project gives me faith that I can do it myself in future. I don’t care how good anybody is at hand sharpening I defy them to accurately sharpen a 2 inch diameter twist drill exactly to specifications. I even designed and manufactured a machine to wind tiewire onto needles for lacing chain link fencing. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these videos😀👍🇦🇺
Hi, thanks. I have since discovered that the narrowest arm on the support plate is not as sturdy as it should be.
It needs a fillet to lock it down and I’ll attach one soon. regards
I usually have to watch your vids two or three times to begin to understand their complexity, great work! I'm hoping you will post the plans one of these days, I'd like to try my hand at the project, too.
Hi. Mark. Just go to my website and the plans are there for free. regards thesheddweller.com
Great little series Paul, love the work through engineering you do to press on to the end.
Looking forward to the next project.
Stay safe, Cheers
Thanks, Cheers
What a lot of work for making a drill sharpener. For 500-1000 USD you can buy decent/professional sharpeners that do the work at least the same. For hobby work, that is too expensive. Than hobby tools need to be made.
Hi, these machines cost more than I can afford on a pension, so I make what I can. For bigger machines I have to wait until a repairable scrap machine comes available... besides, what else have I got to do in my old age? Cheers
@@Thesheddweller Ah ok. I thought is was for a workshop. For hobby it's fine, although I think maybe a bit complex solution. It's a bit an out of the box solution. For these things normally the best solution is to do what Einstein did: Combine what other have done before and add a tiny litebit yourself to make a worldchange happen. Second point: normally the best solutions are also the most simple solutions. Good luck with your project 🙂
@@phyx1s thanks.
Howdy Paul, fantastic video! I think the drillbit sharpener fixture is brilliant! Looking forward to the next project! I shared your TH-cam channel with my friend Carl, he lives in Birmingham, he's also an engineer in the UK.
Hi, thank you. I live quite close to Birmingham, say hi to him from me. Regards
Nice job. We shared this video (and part 1) on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Hi, Cheers
Thanks Paul, this looks like a good project to put on the to do list.
I've always free handed sharpening drills and usually got fare results. For any thing needing accuracy I resort to a new drill with factory faces. Thanks for the details. I've downloaded your drawings and I'll save your videos because I'm going to have to watch them again a few times I'm sure.
Regards from Canada's banana belt 🤞🇨🇦👍
Hi, let me know how you get on. cheers
Está genial ojala pueda fabricarlo se ve un poco complicado me gustaría tenerlo te felicito amigo
Hola, gracias por mirar. He publicado los dibujos en mi sitio web: - thesheddweller.com disfruto.
It looks like your on winner.
Hi, yes it looks like it. still got plenty on final testing to do though.
Paul, You are an absolute genius...It's a privaledge to watch you work.
Hi, Hans, thank you. Regards.
Fantastic!!...Thank you Paul for sharing yet another very satisfying and enjoyable video and looking forward to your next shed head adventure.
Hi, thank you.
Nicely done Paul, enjoyable viewing, thank you.
Hi, thanks. Much appreciated.
a way to dress the grinder wheel to (in/with) your fixture is something to think about
Hi, yes very true. However, a dressing stone or diamond has to be mounted on a very sturdy base, the longer the base, the more sturdy it needs to be to prevent any cutting wheel vibration. I like to separately true the wheel with a diamond and regularly dress with a carborundum stone. regards
Very nice. Glad that you figured out the problem with the Mk 1. Thanks
Hi, thank you, yes it has some issues but it works. cheers.
Hi Paul, that ratcheting system was brilliant
I am going to bookmark this video and keep it in back of my mind as something to try in the future
Thank you
Hi, I'm never happier than when I hear of someone who has seen something they can use. cheers
That was a great little series really enjoyed it. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing
Hi, thanks and you’re welcome
Hi, very interrsting thanks for sharing your video, happy new year
Hi, thanks, happy new year.
Hello from Aus. Good work, keep it coming.
G’day, thanks mate. I’ll see what I can do. Cheers.
Excellent toolmakers work....hats off to a toolmaker collegue....TOP
Hi, thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed both videos, thank you. Well beyond my capability, but there is always something to be learned by watching someone who knows what they’re doing. Les
Hi Les. There’s no such thing as beyond anyone the only restriction I find is time. there’s never enough.
Excellent video Paul.
Great project.
Looking forward to seeing your next video.
Hi, thanks, I’m very busy at the moment, so I should be able to scrape something together.
Hi thanks, cheers
nice project there Paul, turned out very nice. all the best for the new year.
Hi david, thanks, all the best.
Nice job!!
Hi, thanks
Мое почтение .
Привет, спасибо.
fantastic
Hi, thanks.
Impressive! Well done! Thanks.
Hi, you’re welcome, cheers
Your content is incredible. I wish you a happy new year to come. If you need an idea for a video I would really like to see you cover your technique for marking out. I find your oration perfect and I am definitely lacking in this area.
Thank you
I'm not an expert on marking out, but I'm sure I can squeeze a small video out there explaining a few things as I remember them but, I do have lots of work on at the minute so I'll have to sneak it in when I pause for a cuppa.
Regards.
@@Thesheddweller Thank you is all I can say. You are truly a gift to the world of machining and newcomers such as myself.
@@termlimit thanks, its hard work but i enjoy it. cheers.
I'm impressed, in fact,, I'm more than impressed!!!!
Nah… you’re just saying that. 🤭
@@Thesheddweller .
There some serious lateral thinking behind that. In fact, the thinking is almost sideways! Have you tried driving a rally car?
@@NellsMechanicalManCave once, but you know what its like, working while driving...😱
Nice work, thanxs for sharing
You’re welcome. cheers
That is just friggin brilliant~!!!!
Hi, thanks ATB
Excellent Paul as always. Love watching your videos
hi, thanks, glad you enjoy.
@@Thesheddweller what type incerts do u uses, they look like the ones for alloy!? With the relief
@@lesmo9627 Hi, Les I generally use what inserts are already in the tool holder.
The inserts that look like alloy hackers are probably stainless steel finishers.
My lathe is a hobby lathe compared to most and I can stall it by putting a too heavy cut on so its hardly going to matter what insert I use.
Excellent.
You are a true craftsman.
Hi, big thank you.
Very well done 🙂
Hi, thanks..
