EXPERT KNOWLEDGE SHARPENING TOOLS FOR DRILL BITS / DRILL BIT GRINDERS
Drill shapes that can be ground
Drill grinding devices are very limited in terms of the types of drill bits that can be ground with one device. This is due to the many different diameters that such a system has to cover. In addition, systems that enable the precise grinding of drill bits are complex and therefore expensive to purchase. A drill cutter that also covers a large number of drill types would be uneconomical from a use's point of view.
However, there are some useful variants for certain types of drill bits:
Twist drills:
Standard drill bits with a straight Shaft, which are used universally.
Forstner bit:
Common drill bit shape in woodworking for countersinking pot hinges and other fittings.
Tormek drill sharpening device
The Tormek drill sharpener is an accessory for all Tormek grinders models from 2000-2006 as well as 1200-1206, T-3, T-4, T-7 and T-8 and is known for its precision and versatility. It is specifically designed to sharpen twist drills with a consistent and accurate cutting geometry. Key features of the Tormek jig include:
- Water-cooled grinding: The Tormek machine uses a water-cooled grinding stones that keeps the temperature low during sharpening and prevents overheating, which extends the life of the drill bits.
- Adjustable Angle: The drill bit grinder allows precise adjustment of the point angle from 90°-150°, so that different types of drill bits can be optimally processed.
- 4-facet point: for maximum accuracy and service life in the familiar wet grinding process.
The optimum point and clearance angles can be set for each drilling process, taking into account the drill size and the material to be machined. Even completely blunt and broken drills regain their perfect shape through grinding.
Conclusion
Drill grinders are a sensible purchase for craftsmen who value the quality of their tools and like to invest in high-quality drill bits. By purchasing a drill bit grinder, drill bits can be kept ready for use at all times.
