3. Question:
Why is the drill point off center?
Answer:
If the tip of the drill bit appears to be sharpened off center,
check the following items:
•
You may not have done an even number of half-turns when
you sharpened and one face of the bit was ground more than
the other. Always use an even number of half-turns when
you sharpen.
•
Make sure that there are no particles between the chuck jaws
and the drill bit which could hold it off center.
•
Make sure the bit is not loose in the Chuck.
•
During the sharpening process be sure to keep the same
pressure on each half-turn.
4. 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 Hole. To
correct, apply light, not firm inward pressure and rotate the
Chuck smoothly while sharpening. Be sure to complete the half-
turns.
5. 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.
