Geez. Who can't sharpen a drill bit??

Apparently someone that posts here as I remember the implication and
sharp drills were only found in machine shops :-)

Yep, YMMV, but I've always found it cheaper to just buy a new drill set
or collection of drills than fuzing around trying to sharpen them.

OTOH, I don't earn my living drilling holes and it rapidly became obvious
that as far as "drill sharpening devices" went one size/type/style
didn't fit all and apart from a pileof files, that's enough.

I'll go as far as touching up a chain saw every cut on dry redgum or
yellow box(realraiway sleepers), but life is too short to touch up a
drill for every hole.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. But sharpening drills
is just two passes across the grinding wheel and a chain saw has a
multitude of teeth :-)
