The other day a student showed me how he sharpens his tungstens for TIG, and I wondered whether a similar method might be used for sharpening drill bits. He put an angle grinder in a vise and turned it on. Then he put his tungsten in a drill and spun it while holding it at the correct angle against the abrasive wheel. It seems to me that it would have worked just about as well against a stationary abrasive, but that was how he did it. Would a similar procedure work for sharpening drill bits? It seems like it would be a good way to ensure that the angle was identical on both sides of the point of the bit and that it was properly centered.
