6. Question:
Why are my small drill bits grinding off-center?
Answer:
After aligning the small bit, look into the back of the chuck and
determine if the jaws are straight against the bit. 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. If that
happens, you will need to align the bit again.
7. Question:
Why was my drill bit sharpened improperly?
Answer:
The most common cause of improper sharpening is improper
drill bit alignment.
Key causes are:
1. Drill point not pushed all the way to the Drill Stop.
2. Chuck not pushed all the way into the Alignment Hole.
3. Drill not aligned in the Bit Clamps correctly.
In order to correct these problems be sure the Chuck is all the
way in the Alignment Hole with the flats entirely hidden. The
drill point must be against the Drill Stop and the Bit Clamps
must be at the narrowest part of the drill bit.
8. Question:
Why is my split point uneven?
Answer:
Page 11 shows a drill point that is undersplit and a drill point
that is correctly split. To correct an uneven point split, insert the
Chuck into the Splitting Hole and split both sides again. Push
the Chuck into the Hole until it stops. Repeat until the split sides
are equal and look like the correctly split bit shown above.
