Reclaimed a old drill bit - oldgoaly - 08-21-2013
Well need to drill a bunch of holes and some of my bit are dull as I am, I have a small General bit sharpener mounted with a small Sears grinder, it does ok but can not do larger or longer drills. So found a Lisle 91000 drill grinder. Well it's a little complicated! but "after" reading and re-reading the instructions I took a poorly sharpened very dull 1/2" drill bit as my test piece. wow did it need sharpening!!! but after it was resharpened it cuts like a new one! Better than I thought!

It is a nice tool but is pain to set up at first. but when it's set does wonders! oh just take light cuts! needs coolant! but as slow as I am...
The blank will be one of 4 metal spinning rollers, trying to get a bunch of things together to turn radii on the other lathe.

Lisle always was a name for quality tools etc. Nice grinder, great find.
