I am very curious as to how these things work.
It looks like a pencil sharpener.
I learned to sharpen drill bits properly, during my millwright apprenticeship many years ago.
I find it hard to imagine how a pencil sharpener looking unit could cut the angles, and sweeps, you need on a properly sharpened bit.
I have heard many times they work well!
Can someone enlighten me? |

It may look like a "micky mouse" RONCO type machine but they work.
It only sharpens the points though....
They work decent... better than having a bunch of useless bits around
(not everyone is adept at old fashioned methods of sharpening bits like you may have learned in your trade/skill)
AND you can get TONS of bits CHEAP AS HELL at pawn shops and sharpen them and save a TON OF MONEY VS buying new bits all the time. Except for a few really small bits that can get broken or a very specific "lettered" or other odd sized bit... I have found pawn shops to have buckets of drill bits for sale for about 5-25 cents each!
