Drill Bit Sharpening / Best Wheel for First Time
February 17, 2025, 12:33:57 AM
I have been sharpening a bunch of bits for myself and friends. It is a time-consuming process. It makes such a nice bit but would like it to take less time. I will say that resharpening a bit should be a much faster process then sharpening a bit and forming the new profile the first time.

What wheel is best for the first sharpen of drill bits? This would be fast material removal. I have a 360 and 600 grit diamond wheel and even the 360 grit can take a lot of time for worn bits. Is there a better option? I think the 600 grit for resharpening is going to work great but I'm not there yet. Even a wheel only for secondary facets might be an option.

Thank you.
