What did you buy today

[mudski]

Got these noise canceling headphones for Christmas. I’ve never had real decent headphones before. I finally had a chance to sit down and try them out. One word for these Sony headphones. Wow!


The noise canceling capabilities are simply amazing. Something I have never experienced before. Not to mention the sound quality.

Jeepers!

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.

It will be interesting to see if the sharpener gives the bit a proper rake angle. I have seen "Sharpeners" that only give the proper chisel (the square point on top) and point angle (general profile). After that you have to manually take material off so it will cut.

The unit has a special undercut profile i believe that can be configured for the style you mention - have not gone there as yet as dont really know the details of why its used to be honest. The unit is really good at returning the face to original, ar optically as close as you can tell.

I did stuff up the first drill bit, in a big way, but again, read the instructions and all will be revealed. My mistake was not using the drill bit set-up gauge correctly, and I had the flutes 90 deg out of whack with the sharpening profile. Destroyed the bit complete, Anyway, back to the booklet, and correction made, drill bit returned to its former shape, but sharper.

Instructions?! I am a mere male. We don’t read instructions. We throw them out. My sharpener is faulty I say!
