The procedure is quite complex and has to be followed by the letter. Your best plan is to watch the Tormek Innovation video on the subject linked below.

Welcome to the forum, Tim. I hold John in high regard, and I am a devoted fan of the Tormek online classes. However, with the DBS-22, my first recommendation would be the video Alan Holtham made for Tormek. Alan made it around the time the DBS-22 was introduced. I have owned my DBS-22 for many years, but use it infrequently. Whenever I use it, I always watch Alan's video first to refresh my skill. Here is a link:

Keep us posted.

Do yourself a favor, watch Alan's video. 

It would be helpful if you could post a photo of what you are asking about, the drill bit jig.  Post several of other aspects of your setup, etc.

Quality is like buying oats.  If you want nice, clean, fresh oats, you must pay a fair price. However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse, that comes at a lower price.

Yes. Alan is an excellent tutor. I will have to keep that one handy :)

I have always considered the DB#-22 to be Tormek's most sophisticated, advanced jig. Those willing to put in the work of thoroughly understanding it and practicing with it will be richly rewarded, hopefully financially and certainly with a deeper understanding of the Tormek.
