Questions and Answers
1. Question:
Why was my drill bit sharpened improperly?
Answer:
The most common cause of improper sharpening is improper drill
bit alignment.
Key causes are:
• Chuck not inserted into the Sharpening Port correctly. Ensure
the Alignment Guides (raised ns) are tted into the correct
alignment slot.
• Drill not aligned in the Chuck Jaws correctly.
Ensure bit clamp
arms are holding in the narrowest part of the bit.
• The type of drill requires an angle adjustment to achieve
the desired Chisel and Relief Angles. Try using the Variable
Alignment to adjust the Chisel and Relief Angle.
• Chuck is dirty or the bit slipped out of alignment.
See “Cleaning the Chuck.”
2. Question:
When I aligned the drill bit and sharpened it, why was no
material removed?
Answer:
Your sharpening tube may not be fully seated. Make sure the
small, black sharpening cup is sitting ush in the Sharpening Port.
3. Question:
I sharpened the bit. Why will it not cut?
Answer:
This happens when the Heel on the bit is higher than the Cutting
Edge (negative relief). You may not have sharpened long enough,
make sure to sharpen until there is no more grinding noise.
You may have a specialty bit that requires dierent alignment.
See section "Using the variable Alignment to Adjust Chisel and
Relief Angle".
