Let's see if my latest wrestling match with Photobucket works!



It is some years since I did a detailed mechanical drawing for machining purposes, and I have forgotten how to specify tolerances, perpendicular items, and surface finishes, hence the novel tolerance specification note! if I have it right it's drawn in Third Angle.

The plate Bob made for me is 6mm thick which is more than adequate.

Here is my version of this useful jigg. Thanks for the detailed mechanical drawing.

Thanks Ken!

I also always look at Alan Holtham's DBS 22 video before I sharpen drill bits.

But I especially like the part where he talks about turning the drill bits counterclockwise.
I have had problems to sharpen small drill bits and will test the Jeff Fisher's method of turning the drill counterclockwise so we'll see if that helps. I have not had problems with drill bits 8mm and up.

I think this video gives a little more light on how this jig works and what it can deliver.

Do you use the hole in the template to set the distance between the universal support and the grinding wheel ? Watch this video. It will start at the 50s when he shows how he sets the distance.

How big is the gap between the universal support and the grinding wheel ? Your Dropbox pictures do not show it. The base plate looks too flat mounted.
It looks like it is much more steeply mounted in this video.
