Hi Everyone,
A few of us around here have always sharpened HSS drills by hand but instead of continuing to carry on that tradition I am thinking of just getting a machine. Are there any particularly good value ones out there suitable for real machine shop use to sharpen 118 degree tips on HSS drills up to maybe 1/2"? Are they easy to use? If setting up and operating the machine requires as much skill as sharpening them by hand then there is no point haha. The idea is that the machine would be for the people who aren't skilled enough to do it by hand so they don't have to keep asking the people that CAN do it for help.
Thank you!
