7. Question:
Why was my drill bit sharpened improperly?
Answer:
The most common cause of improper sharpening is improper drill
bit alignment.
Key causes are:
1. Drill point not pushed all the way to the Drill Stop.
2. Chuck not pushed all the way into the Alignment Port.
3. Drill not aligned in the Bit Clamp Arms correctly.
In order to correct these problems be sure the Chuck is all the
way in the Alignment Port. The drill point must be against the
Drill Stop and the Bit Clamp Arms must be at the narrowest part
of the drill bit.
8. Question:
Why is my split point uneven?
Answer:
Page 51 shows a drill point that is undersplit and a drill point
that is correctly split. To correct an uneven point split, insert the
Chuck into the Splitting Port and split both sides again. Push the
Chuck into the Port until it stops. Repeat until the split sides are
equal and look like the correctly split bit shown above.
9. Question:
Why does the drill bit back up into the Chuck during the sharpen-
ing procedure?
Answer:
Make sure the bit is tight in the Chuck before sharpening. Your
Chuck may be dirty. Follow the steps for cleaning the Chuck on
page 60.
10. Question:
When splitting, why don't I hear a grinding sound?
Answer:
The Chuck is not seated properly in the Splitting Port. The Chuck's
Sharpening Guide must line up with the Splitting Guide on the top
of the Split Point Port. Firmly and slowly push the Chuck into the
hole until the grinding sound stops.
