How to Sharpen a Twist Drill - The Easy Foolproof Way - 456 

Thank you, bought one of these from Aldi and had no idea how to use it

Just bought one from Aldi, cheap as chips and now I know how to use it :)

I had to learn how to sharpen ALL my tools by HAND (and a grinding wheel) when I began Mechanical Engineering back in 197x's! LMAO because this is such good fun and I'm jealous of what you "kids" have to play with these days. Love the videos and all the best :) Cheers.

Fell asleep watching this.

Thank you for this explanation!! Very clear!!

Both cutting edges need to be the same length.

the drill doctor will do split point drills and I believe masonry tips as well, you could try running some wax on the flutes of the drills to see if that helps clear the chips

Thanks. Very helpful !

Video was great help as product from Aldi comes with no instructions

There are always experts who can hand sharpen a twist drill to perfection, in the dark and under water. But for the rest of us for whom doing the actual job is enough, these cheap sharpeners are worth the money and allow a novice to sharpen a drill which will cut steel. As for disposing throwing the drill away when it's blunt, that's really so yesterday....

I also love the cheap Lidl tools! :-)

nice tool!

Not a bad device for the price. I think the adjustment is for the stone when it wears.

Ahah ! Glad you thought about French people watching your videos by pointing out the description in French :D (1:23)

Now that looks very handy, we arnt all professional tool sharpeners. And we dont have a handy toolman tied up in a cupboard when we need them LOL :-D :-D. Well worth the pennies to make old drills work :-D. Nice to see you on the livestream, its a fight to get a comment seen lol. No Reply needed.

Thank you

good video

I think I saw you sharpen a masonry drill? Do you know there are two general categories of drills? Masonry drills or metal drills.

I Got the same one, Unfortunately, I do not have a drill where it can be stuck so I have put a 6mm bolt through the black plastic / rubber stuff inside that works perfectly. 👍 But where was it now I have the extra stone 🤔

Well done as usual Morten. I have never seen how drills bit are sharpened. I think thats because I live in the States, and everything here is disposable. We just replace everything.

Just chucked one of these because it’s a bag of crap, won’t fit over keyless chucks, red casing cracked after 5 mins and sharpening disc would stop spinning after light pressure.

hello!!! reading the instructions 1st might help

13:40 was that a car that went pass the window ?? basement not that lower than road level ?

what about changing the grinding stone?

That is for you

Os ha salido bueno ese afilador ? Yo compré uno ayer y ya está bloqueado...basura

That thumbnail product shot looks like a Fleshlight ™

"THis is going to be shit videoing" .... such refreshing honesty in youtube reviews :). THanks for demonstrating the product. I have one and have ben unsure if it will be a good outcome to use, as my initial experience was not great. Seeing your input helps give an extra opinion! Also nice to see video without huge introduction and your conversation happens while the topic progresses.... not just tonnes of wasted time. Keep having fun :)

Early on in the video I saw that the bits didn't have any cross bridge in tjhe center, and the grind went over onto the other flute. Yeah, it will drill soft wood. The only reason I'm looking at these vids is because my eyes need reading glasses and strong light to hand sharpen. I can beat this thing even without them.

At the point where you said you have no idea what you are doing it is obvious that there is a missing piece of information. I suspect that there is a reason why the plastic surface with the drill holes in it is helical. Could it be that the surface is positioned so that the edge of the drill bit goes through the surface exactly one turn above the grind stone so you can then determine where you are on the grindstone from where you are relative to the plastic surface. The FW typed manufacturers instructions make no mention of the role of the helical surface at all! Perhaps that just goes to prove that we are recently evolved. If there is anyone out there who really understands how this thing works please do us all a favour and tell us.

The drill bits are not the dullest things in this video.

There's no hair comb in his playhouse.

Loved the video but in the description you spelt dull wrong.

Why you don't try it on iron ?

Nice drilling a hole in wood using a metal drill, just awesome fail !

so there is a creepy basement and a not creepy basement

i had electric version of this from [machine mart] absolute crap better off doing by hand on grinder

Pokaż czy wieci w metalu a nie w drewnie

i am of the opinion that this channel is a gift from god!

"Shit filming" well the sharpener looks like a rather perverse sex toy ... so you were right on the money :)

Få nu det musik væk der køre i baggrunden !!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not understand the purpose of this instructional video, if you don't know what you are doing as you said! (I think, it seems so....etc)

That style of cheap "drill sharpener" is a complete waste of money. You might be able to push your way through a block of softwood after you have "sharpened" your drill bits with that thing - but you wouldn't have a hope in hell of drilling through a bit of steel. You would be far better served watching a couple of decent U tube clips on hand sharpening drill bits (there's plenty of good ones on here) and teaching yourself how to hand sharpen your drill bits. I know that I could run rings around that piece of plastic rubbish (I have one in the shed but refuse to use it) simply sharpening my bits by hand on the bench grinder.

I think your problem is cheap bits

Игрушка. как Айфон для домохозяек. А Стив Джобс - великий продавец ненужного.

Well, it's not drills for wood but for iron ... fuck that ..... because you don't drill iron ......
