THE DRILL BIT
A
Insert the drill bit into the chuck. Turn the chuck knob
clockwise until it is tight.

Now, loosen the chuck knob slightly, turning counterclockwise,
just until the drill bit begins to slide through the chuck jaws.
C
Press the pusher button in and insert the chucked drill bit
into the alignment tube. Take care to match the flats on
the chuck with the flats on the top and bottom of the tube.

Release the pusher button and rotate the drill bit until the
clamp arms grip the bit at its narrowest width.
1. Tighten the chuck clockwise until the bit is securely
held in the chuck.
2. Press the pusher button in once more, and then
remove the chuck and drill bit together from the alignment
tube. Your bit is ready to sharpen.
Gently push the drill bit forward until it meets the drill stop,
which is visible through the alignment viewer.

Insert the chucked drill bit into the sharpening tube,
matching either white mark on the chuck with the cam
post at the top of the tube. With a direct, easy
pressure, turn the chuck clockwise, white mark to white
mark and repeat. Remember you are grinding steel.
A small bit requires a light pressure and may only take
a couple of turns to sharpen. A large bit will need
greater pressure and will take additional turns or more
to sharpen.
Make sure the chuck follows the steel cam post.
Avoid putting downward pressure on the chuck.
Keep the pressure even, and directed into the tube.
The correct sharpening action will naturally rock the
chuck back and forth. This motion should not be
prevented. A 1/4” bit will need about 6 complete
rotations of the chuck, or 12-20 half rotations, to
achieve a perfectly sharp point. More sharpening may
be required for very dull or broken bits.
