| 501 forum posts 132 photos | I've picked up a manual drill grinding jig, the Picador design. I am at the moment what is the best side of the wheel to fit it, Picador on the instructions have the drill on the side, other designs on the front. They may be no good but they have been going for years so worth a try Bob. |

 2785 forum posts 87 photos | It does need to go on the side. Not considered to be good practice but for the small amount of metal removal for sharpening drills it's fine. It's worth having a look at Harold Hall's website for how to use it, http://homews.co.uk/page354.html Russell Edited By Russell Eberhardt on 12/08/2018 10:00:33 |

 7468 forum posts 230 photos | If you need to grind a larger amount of the drill, do that freehand on the front of the wheel, then to finish sharpening put it in the sharpener, that will also show you how near you freehand grinding is. Ian S C |
