    Default drill bit sharpener

    these probably 50 bloody bits sitting on my bench and they are all fooked. well, blunt as can be anyway.

    any recommended sharpeners for drill bits? dont want to pay a shit load for one, can i get one that works?

    youtube links and make your self a guage(get angle from google) make out of metal plate and use that as a guide for the angle (get the angle right and twist it as you go over the wheel)

    we have one at home. i havent used it yet but its awesome to not pick up a drill that my retarted brother has ground off centre.

    get them from usa ebay. at least half the price. you need a transfromer though...
