Good evening
I've got a T8 with DBS22 set up as per the instructions and had ago at sharpening a few drills, all have negative clearance angle so they will not drill holes!, I've trawled through a few sites on you tube, found one with exactly the same issue but the question was not answered (response's went off on numerous tangents, none related to the initial question)
Looking at the drills, it seems that something is out by 180 degrees, what should be the cutting edge is now the flank, so I have drills that may cut in reverse!
I've been hand sharpening for 55 years and thought I would give the Tormek system a go but it's not going very well, any suggestions what is going wrong?
