Questions and Answers

1. 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 Hole.
3. Drill not aligned in the Bit Clamps correctly.
4. Chuck jaws are not in their grooves. See page 16, Cleaning
the Chuck, to realign.
5. Too many rotations of a small diameter bit results in
incorrect sharpening, and too few on a large bit may not
sharpen enough. See page 10, "Drill Bits of Different Sizes."
In order to correct these problems be sure the Chuck is all the
way in the Alignment Port with the flats entirely hidden. The
drill point must be against the Drill Stop and the Bit Clamps
must be at the narrowest part of the drill bit. (See pages 5-7.)
2. Question:
When I aligned the drill bit and sharpened it, why was no
material removed?
Answer:
This happens when the bit is not protruding out of the Chuck
far enough. You may have allowed the Alignment Button to
knock the drill back into the Chuck when aligning the bit.
Carefully realign the bit in the Alignment Port again. Make sure
the drill is pushed all the way against the Drill Stop before you
release the Alignment Button. (See page 6.)
