What's on your bench?

[PA Dan]

Ah......no.

Damn..

 

[RI Chevy]

LOL. Any specific tool you use to sharpen the drill bits?

 

[huskihl]

A grinder

When I try freehand the bits cant even drill wood when I'm done hacking them up. Lol

 

[huskihl]

It’s an art. But not difficult once you know how

My brother and I have an arrangement … I sharpen the chains, he sharpens the drill bits!

 

[JBW1]

I do. I can make them sharper than new.

Tutorial pleeeeese

 

[RI Chevy]

I'm very interested too

Napa has them on special quite often too. Can't remember what I paid for the last set, but that seems pretty reasonable. Might have to order up a extra set just because now.

Stainless sucks, gotta go slow and keep it sauced up with juice....
PWC master tech for 10yrs and I lived in FL for a while...
Here in middle TN every cheap ass looking for a cheap jet ski buys it on Feebay from the gulf coast, so I actually saw more salt water stuff here than in FL!!!
I bought a set of lefties from Matco on sale for around $60. They were worth every penny and then some!

For the money the best set of drill bits are the Norsemans sold at Fastenal IMO. I bought a 29 piece index for $129.95 plus tax. They cut like a hot knife through butter on anything shy of Grade 8. Once you cross that threshold you are in Carbide territory. Walter makes some excellent Carbide bits but they are $$$$. I paid $160.00 for my solid Carbide 5/8" ten years ago, and they most certainly have gone up since then.

Most of my bits are 40+ years old. USA made.
Lifelong friends were machinists.
Numbers, letters, fractions, left hand, and 12 packs of numbers 40 thru 80.

I keep junk bits around just to practice on before sharpening the good ones.
I could not afford to replace my bits if they were stolen/lost.

The best advice for bits is to use good drill fluid, flute juice etc.

View out, from the bench.

They would be great for most people. Unfortunately I get into a lot of broken stainless bolts. They are ok but if I had unlimited resources. I would try a snapon set. I just can't justify it. I just buy a replacement set every few years. Nice having a fresh set on hand that way too.


My snap on guy told me that Erwin made snap on bits, easy outs etc

Thanks for sharing sir. How many HP does an engine like that make?
