In order to save the grind wheel on the Vevor if you have hand sharpened drill bits like you did with a wrong relief, and don't want to keep grinding away just cut the tip of the drill bit with an angle or bench grinder this is way faster then keeping to move it outwards from the collet everytime.
I bought the model B. I could not remove one of the two small pins on the web thinning/point splitting hole even using pliers. The pin had obviously been hammered in since its top was peened over. After some time, Vevor customer service recommended removing it with tweezers! I finally removed by heating with a small torch and using vise grips to pull it out. Very difficult. The supplied pins are soft steel and I’m sure the difficult one was bent and pounded in. I replaced them with polished 3mm hard stainless pins that I made my self. Suggesting tweezers was ridiculous. The tool does work very well but I hope I don’t have to contact customer service again.
Why don't any of the many reviewers of this machine sharpen a small drill? Large drills are easily sharpened on a bench grinder, it's the small drills that are difficult.
This tool only does bits down to 2 mm in diameter, so it can't do very small drill bits anyways. I was able to sharpen all sorts of sizes within its specified range, though (2-15mm)
Just purchased this on Amazon so awaiting delivery. I purchased the model B. My question is, would purchasing larger and smaller elastic collets on Amazon work with this machine?
The largest ER20 collet is 13mm so you cannot buy any larger than that. However you can buy smaller than 3mm (2mm or 1mm) but your 2mm drill bit might not be long enough to reach the grinding wheel. If it reaches then it might snap when grinding that thin drill bit.
@@eniregnat Copy that, I appreciate it. I was going to more experience version but backed out last second. Going to need larger ones in the future. I'm learning free hand but it's a journey!
Hey mate , how many minutes would it take you to sharpen per drill bit if you sat down and did a few different sizes? 3 minutes if you were in a rhythm? Including setup
It goes fast once you know how to do it, and I'd assume faster if you were "in the zone." In the one part of the video, I did all the steps in about a minute? Switching collets takes the most time, probably.
Absolutely! You go mate! There's always some people that like using an axe instead of a chainsaw! So you like doing it the long way, good on you! Oh, you forgot to mention that you need to add the cost of a grinding wheel & motor that has the guard removed that's usually setup permanently?

Thank you very much for doing this video! I found the instructions rather lacking but your video made good sense of it! I love this machine!

What is adjustment knob on top used for?

Probably, so you could more easily see what is going on.
Their website says the smallest size is 3 mm not 2
@@drabusharrExagerează când spune 2 mm! Minim 3 mm și acolo este dificil! Calitate ok este începând cu 5 mm!
Looks like a huge improvement over a drill doctor

Where are the shavings accumulated?
Thank you!
Would like to see a small drill but great video

Why was my comment removed? My Drill Doctor DD750X Will sharpen bits up to 3/16" to 3/4" for half the price of vevor.
Junk junk junk
Unless you provide an explanation for your comment, it’s worthless.
Why???
GENERAL 825 DRILL SHARPENER is $20-$30 is way quicker setup and sharpen and accurately reshape damaged drills
