4.What kind of advantages you can get from Drill Bit Sharpener Machine?

Drill Bit Sharpener

The Advantages of Owning a Drill Bit Sharpener

Drill bit sharpeners can make using drill bits safer for all. If you’re drilling with a dull bit, you’ll have to make an effort and use more force to make any progress. A smaller bit can easily work under pressure, which sometimes sends pieces of drill bit flying. While you should always wear safety glasses during its working because flying bits of metal are never safe. A sharpener ensures that you don’t need to put much power behind the bit.

• Having your own drill bit sharpener will save you money on new bits.
• Sharpening your bits makes them more accurate and precise.
• Keeping your bits sharp makes them safer and fresh.

5.What are the different parts of Drill Bit Sharpener Machine?

Drill Bit Sharpener

In order to create holes drill bits are usually attached to a drill, which switches them to cut through the workpiece, typically by rotation during its working. The drill will grasp the upper end of a bit called the shank in the chuck.

Body

The body between the shank and the point of the drill is called the body.

Point

The end point of the drill is called point and it is cone shaped.

It is generally found at 180°.

Shank

The driving end of the drill which fits into the drilling machine is called a Shank.

Tang

Tang is a part of the shank that fits into the machine spindle.

Flutes

Spiral grooves on the body of the drill are called flutes.

They mainly perform three types of tasks: first, metal cutting as cutting edge, and secondly coolant reaching the cutting edge and thirdly turning out the chips into curls.

Land

The length of the body across the body between the flutes says land.

It is also known as a margin.

Body Clearance

The part of the body whose diameter is slightly lesser than the diameter of the drill is called body clearance.

Due to this friction they have between them the drill and the hole is reduced.

Web

The part which is separating the two flutes is called the web.

Neck

The part which is connecting the shank and the body of the drill is called a neck.

This part is found in a few drill bits.

6.Explain how Drill Bit Sharpener Machine works?

Drill Bit Sharpener Machine 

This precision made Drill Bit Sharpening Machine is so simple to use, to sharpen any object, anyone can sharpen dull bits in three easy steps. Just set the drill bit in the collet, grind the taper relief angle at set point and grind the web thinning angle to reduce the center point width.

SHARPENING ADJUSTMENT IN RANGES OF ANGLE

It features a depth adjustment gauge, tapered diamond wheel, 90°-140° angle setting adjustment and built-in collet tray. Collet sizes include 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 1/4", 9/32", 5/16", 3/8", 25/64", 7/16", 15/32" and 1/2". Patented in the US!

Place drill bit to be sharpened in correct drill guide and put it slowly push drill bit towards the grinding stone keeping it in the guide. Do not use excessive Force.

Even complex wood bits and also screwdrivers cold chisels add a whole range of small in it. Tools sharp drills and tools when you need them with Motty sharp the sharpening specialist.

Each sharpener is different, but you, or the jig, hold the bit at a specific and required angle relative to a grinding wheel. The grinding wheel removes metal from the tip of the drill bit and continues with its working until the edge is sharp.

The two most common angles are 118 degrees and 135 degrees, though there are bits that use

other angles.

FIXING OF ANGLES WHILE SHARPENING                                     

• Beyond the nose of the lip rest, adjust the rear bracket to hold and to grip the drill in position, tighten clamp beat and secure lip rest using slotted base move drill grinding attachment.
• Now tighten the Chuck. Remove. It tightens. It again and you're ready to sharpen the switch on the doctor. Place the Chuck inside the sharpening hole.
• Aim for that 60-degree angle, and an angle and point that's the same width on both sides of the drill bit which make it enable the tool to bore straight holes.

WORKING

Sharpening a drill bit is a snap.   First you insert the shank of the bit into the chuck.  One item we noticed were the chuck jaws that actually grab the shank.  The jaws are very long and huge in size, so there is no messing around.  Once you tighten the chuck, the bit is always straight.  After the bit is tightened (don’t fully tighten as you will need some wiggle room to make the adjustment)   into the chuck then you press down the alignment button in it and insert the chuck into the alignment port to drill in it.  This is also the stage where you can adjust the material to take off from the drill.  When you release the alignment button, two clamps come down and pull the bit in the proper position.  Next, the bit is in the proper position and in its right shape, you set the correct depth by either pulling or pushing the bit.

So it goes against the drill stop.  It takes longer to read the last couple of sentences that were flashes than it does to actually adjust the bit.

Once the bit is adjusted in its right way and proper setting, you tighten down the chuck and insert it into the sharpening port.  Now you must want to ensure the Drill Doctor is turned on before inserting it into the sharpening port.  Now all you have to do is hand turn the chuck and then the machine does the rest.  It is that which is so easy.  After you are done and the bit is sharpened completely, you can add a split point by inserting the bit into the split port to do work.

Masonry bits are just as easy, but they all require a couple of different steps in terms of lining up the bit and the actual sharpening process, but after that, they are just as easy to sharpen again and again.
