11. Question:
Can I change a 135° drill bit into a 118° drill bit?
Answer:
You can change the degree angle of any drill bit from 135° to 118°.
The alignment and sharpening procedure will need to be per-
formed three or more times to remove the old angle and produce
the new angle desired. If you change a 135° angle to a 118° angle
you will not be able to return to a 135° angle using this machine.
Drill Doctor Maintenance
®
After sharpening 20 to 25 drill bits, the drill bit grinding dust will
accumulate in the grinding compartment. Grinding particles will
promote wear in the Sharpening Port and Chuck, so cleaning on
a consistent basis can add life to your machine. Before any main-
tenance or cleaning is performed, be sure to disconnect your Drill
Doctor.
Removing the Wheel Access Cover
With the Drill Doctor unplugged, use your nail or the tip of your
finger to pull the Wheel Access Cover forward. It will come com-
pletely off for easy access. To close, insert the Cover in the slots
and snap it back into place.
Cleaning Your Drill Doctor
®
With the Drill Doctor unplugged, shake accumulated drill bit
grinding dust from behind the Wheel Cover into a disposable con-
tainer. Remove dust particles around the wheel with a small, dry
brush. Dispose of the container and drill bit dust in a safe and en-
vironmentally approved manner. With a dry cloth wipe the inside
and outside of the Sharpening Port to remove any grinding dust
that may have accumulated. A standard 1" vacuum hose works
equally well.
You can also use the Grit Tube attachment as shown on page 52.
Cleaning the Chuck
With compressed air, blow out the Chuck from the Knob end or
brush out with a small, dry brush.
