What did you buy today

[MudRunnerTD]

Good call. Was taught how to do up to 1/2" as a young 'un. You either got the knack or don't. It seems I am losing the ability as my eyes aren't that good any more. I occasionally surprise myself and get it right. The rest of the time I let the bit rub its way through instead of cutting. My instructor would have a heart attack if he knew !!

Yeah I was taught as an Apprentice too. In the days before single use consumerables and disposables. I can hand sharpen any size drill bit, hand sharpen and set a panel saw cross cut and rip. I kind of take it for granted to be honest. Nice skill to have. The drill doctor system seems great and I have had one in my hand a few times but never bought one. I sure it would be consistent and sharp which is a winner. As I go blind with age doing it by hand gets a little tougher.
