The Drill Doctor

The sharpening process includes 2 easy procedures:
1. Aligning the bit in the Chuck.
2. Sharpening the bit.

Aligning the Drill Bit

This ensures that the Drill Doctor creates the right geometry. It
also sets the depth of the bit so that only a small amount of the
tip is taken off during sharpening.

Sharpening Process

®
Insert bit in Chuck.
1. Insert the bit into the front of the
Chuck, leaving 1/2" of bit sticking out
the front.
Tighten Chuck slightly.
2. Tighten the Chuck by turning the
Chuck Knob clockwise just to the
point where the bit is snug but can
still be slid in and out. The Chuck
should not be completely tightened
until we set the bit depth for sharpen-
ing in Step 4.
Tip: The alignment fingers must be
in the flutes of the drill bit.
Align Leading Edge.
3. Rotate the drill bit in the Chuck so
that the Leading Edge of the flute is
against the Alignment Finger. This
aligns the bit for accurate sharpening.
Note: A good test to see if the Chuck
is tightened the correct amount is to
make sure it moves when you push
on it with your fingers, but will not fall
out when you turn the Chuck upside
down.
