Very nice! I love it. I've always sharpened my drill bits by hand, but the eyes are getting old! Barely can see anything smaller than 3/16". About 2 months ago while at a friend's woodworking shop in Florida (after bragging I can sharpen that bit) I started going at it. The more I tried the more it was messed up, pride took over and it became apparent the bit was going to win. In utter defeat I took it to another friend who has a cheap bit grinder, and he was doing even worse than I was. It took us another half hour to realize the bit had an opposite twist! I now understand they are used to take out broken off bolts, but I had never seen one...
Thanks Mike! It sure is a nice machine. I've never been good at sharpening drill bits by eye. Trying to get the cutting edges the same length has been my biggest hurdle. Now that's no longer a concern for and by extension no longer a concern for you either ☺️.

Nice setup did you give up on the gunsmithing I haven't seen any in a while been following you for years thanks for sharing your time
Nope. I make gun parts all the time.
Such a great idea
Much better than throwing a drill bit away just because of a small imperfection.
@@spinesales talk about recycling ♻️ it's great
That looks quality, ballpark on what they go for?
$1500-$2500. If go into super seagull mode like I did you may be able to find it for less.
