Sharpen Drill Bits WITHOUT a Drill Doctor?!

"Get your 80-pound Filipino buddy to hold it for ya" Hahaha! Much love from the Philippines! -Your 110-pound Filipino buddy

"Tighten till you hear the crack then back off a quarter turn". Classic!

I love how YT added adverts for Drill Doctors at the end of this one! I almost spilled a beer.

We got a Drill Doctor for the shop,  we tried it a couple times and just went back to either using a bench grinder or a belt sander.    There's probably 2" of dust on that Drill Doctor now.

Would like a focus you fuck t-shirt

"The way your grade ten shop teacher lectures you to do it, in between six months of filing square blocks with a dull file." Fuck me, I thought it was just us.

Are you telling me I went to four years of Drill Medical School for nothing?

Really like your channel! When I was about 12 years old my uncle showed me how to sharpen twist drills by hand on a bench grinder and produce a round hole. Its harder than you think! A real test is to take a broken drill, cut it off so the end is square with side and go from there. Keep up the good work! Im 59 years old and still love learning and laughing!

A little angry in this one.  I like it!

Most guys I know have a heavy hand when sharpening drill bits. I appreciate you showing that a light touch is all that is needed.

"Tight until you hear the crack,.......back a quarter turn." Dude, you are reestablishing my faith in humanity one youtube vidjizz at a time.

That's actually one of the first things we learned in trade school was how to sharpen drills by hand. They had a bin of "chowdered" drills. You had to take one, sharpen it, drill a hole in some scrap, and turn them both in. FFW about 20 years, I work in a machine shop with all the latest gadgets and cutting-edge tooling and technology. Know what happens when you have to have a particular drill and some dumb fuck chowdered the last one, didn't order any, and put it back in the drawer? You sharpen it by hand. Word to the wise: DRILL A TEST HOLE FIRST!. If you don't grind it right, it will drill oversize.

tighten until you hear a crack, then back a quarter turn.... that is the funniest shit I've heard ahaha

"Tighten till you hear the crack, back a quarter turn" had me laughing for 5 minutes. Love this guy.

"When all you have is a hammer, things start lookin' like nails". LOVE this! hahaha

"right off the bat the drill bit's never gonna be dull, it's gonna be chowdered right to fuck" you're my spirit animal.

That drills lost its balls I like the ones that try to break your wrist when they lock up 😊

That was no tutorial but a highly entertaining rant!  I would allow that drill doc not even in a machineshop. Squeaky plastic thing. A propper drill sharpening machine is great but that means in my book a floor standing 1000pound piece of machinery that works.

Supposing your 80 pound buddy is over 80 pounds and thus out of spec? Take out the excess tonnage with a hole saw much like a core sample. Easy as pie.

Man your vids are some of the best. I bought a drill doctor a long time back and maybe used 10 to 15 times then put it on the shelf where it still sits collecting shop dust. Went back to hand grinding all my bits. Just works quicker and better for me. Keep up the awesome informative vids.
