Hi


Just been wondering what to do with those old junk drill bits. Is there
any possible use for 2' nails?

Resharpening drillbits isn't impossible by hand, with a stone.

Did it several times just making one hole, using a dangle grinder, so
I've no intention of using them again for anything like that. I could
resharpen and use them for wood, but I dont have any 2' thick oak
beams, so... the bin calls I think.

It is quite easy with a rotating grindstone.

When I was in engineering there were diagrams of the angles for various
materials on the walls by grindstones.

Google is surprisingly silent on the subject.

Drive down to your local council tip and put them in the recycling.

That might get me another 0.2 holes per bit, so I think not worth it.

Maybe they would work as cheese drills, and turn cheddar into swiss
cheese. But I cant find the right angles for cheese. They would also
need flutes to avoid a cheese blockage, so more work. Regrettably I
think theyre entirely useless, even if reground.

What was the actual problem with the bits? Can you upload a
pic. somewhere? Did the tips disintegrate, or just blunt, or
what did happen to them?
