Bench top grinder is my friend. I am the only idiot that sharpen drill bits. None of my guys do it and they will keep turning that damn thing until they burn the house down or even easier, they go and get a new one. Onve every few months, I sit by the bench grinder, coffee in hand and somehow, 20-30 min later, they are all sharp again.

Match up the lip angle and gently touch the grinding wheel. Its all you will need. Try and not get past the chisel edge. Repart on the other side. It takes 15 seconds. Don't jam the damn thing in there. Light pressure is all it takes. It is as good as a pro, or the drill doctor? Hell no, but its about 90-95% as good.

Oh have some water ready to cool off larger bits.
