Questions and Answers

1. Question:
Why was my drill bit sharpened improperly?
Answer:
The most common cause of improper sharpening is drill
bit alignment.
Key causes are:
1. Chuck not pushed all the way into the Alignment Port.
2. Drill not aligned in the Chuck Jaws correctly.
3. The type of drill requires an angle adjustment to
achieve the desired Chisel and Relief Angles. Try using
the Variable Alignment to adjust the Chisel and Relief
Angle (see page 22).
4. Chuck is dirty or the bit slipped out of alignment. See
pg 28, "Cleaning the Chuck."
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 20 "Drill Bits of
Different Lengths, Diameters, and Types."
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 align-
ing the bit. Carefully realign the bit in the Alignment Port
again. Make sure the drill bit is pushed all the way against
the Drill Stop before you release the Alignment Button.
3. Question:
I sharpened the bit. Why will it not cut?
