• During the sharpening process be sure to keep the same
pressure on each half-turn.
5. Question:
What can I do about flat spots on the bit point between
the cutting edge and the heel?
Answer:
The flat spots on a sharpened bit are the result of an incomplete
or paused half-turn of the Chuck in the Sharpening Port. To correct,
apply light, not firm inward pressure and rotate the Chuck
smoothly while sharpening. Be sure to complete the half-turns.
6. Question:
Why is the chisel edge on my drill bit flat?
Answer:
During the alignment process the Bit Clamps were gripping the high
points of the drill bit. Realign the drill bit making sure that the Bit
Clamps are located in the narrowest section of the bit. (See page 6.)
7. Question:
Why are my small drill bits not cutting?
Answer:
After aligning the small bit, look into the back of the chuck and
determine if the jaws are straight against the bit. (The jaws will
not be in alignment for bits 1/8" and smaller.) If the jaws appear
to be out of line, move the Chuck Knob slightly to the left just
until the Jaws straighten. Do not loosen the Chuck Knob or the
bit will loosen and the alignment will be lost. Do not retighten
Chuck. If that happens, you will need to align the bit again.
(See page 10.)
8. Question:
Why does the drill bit back up into the Chuck during the
sharpening procedure?
Answer:
Make sure the bit is tight in the Chuck before sharpening.
