Spiralux Drill Grinding Attachment
 

Has anyone used a Spiralux Drill Grinding Attachment or similar? I like the idea of the thing, and thought it would be good to add one to my huge pile of tools :)

The General brand one looks similarly well made.

Can it be used for sharpening the edge of a shovel? :D

Haha, maybe. We'll find out.

Next time I need to grind a drill I’ll look one of these up.

No experience but looks interesting.......thanks, Bill!

Pleased to help :) I haven't seen them before either. I'm surprised how well my hand held, and guessed angles, sharpening works. Blurry vision etc. So even if I use one of these badly I'll still be 10 times better than before.

Two things I remember about sharpening drill bits:

In junior high school, the metal shop teacher would sharpen the drill bits by hand on a grinding wheel and they came out perfect.

I bought a drill doctor and could not sharpen a drill bit correctly on it to save my life. Probably user error I threw it away.

Ever use a drill doctor? These are pretty simple to use and do a great job. I’ve bought 2 at work and they pay for themselves pretty quickly.

Yes.

But I'm a devil for punishment. If something is made easy for me I take the difficult route. Maybe it's like a car with an auto or a manual; I'm choosing the manual.

A930, even if I knew what I was doing, my eyesight wouldn't be up to it.

I was going to recommend a Drill Dr. I've got some deluxe model of it.
