Thanks Ken 

Hi folks

Long time away but I'm thinking of a Tormek T8 as I would like to sharpen knives as well as drill bits etc.

Would a 600g be sufficient to use the DBS-22 with ?  Would they be water cooled thinking of rust here potentially

Thanks

Dave.

Thanks guys.

Hi Elden.

Have you seen my post?

Ground a 9.5 mm cobalt drill to 135 deg + 7 deg primary and 20 deg secondary.

Went through 6mm alloy angle like it was plastic. No pilot hole just a centre punch and some cutting oil.

Jan and Elden..

I'm using a standard grit and extra fine grit on the wheels. Here is a small vid I did and there is a link to where I bought the wheels from.

I have some diamond hone files but haven't had to use them yet. I use the fine grit wheel to grind with.

Thanks Rich.

That will teach me to read the manual next time.

It was a 10mm drill I sharpened. 

Hi People.

My first attempt at using the DBS22.

As you can see I'm not using a Tormek wet grinder, this set up works really well and the CBN wheels are a joy to use.

I am loving the drill sharpener it is a fantastic bit of kit. Does anyone know what the lines are for, marked in red please?

Thanks
