[. . . ] This general-purpose point (normally 118°) is used for drilling softer materials like cold rolled steel, aluminum, and wood. Insert the bit into the front of the Chuck, leaving 1/2" of bit sticking out the front. It is important to understand that each bit has a Chisel Edge, a Cutting Edge, a Heel, a Relief Angle, and a Leading Edge. Tighten the Chuck by turning the Chuck Knob clockwise just to the point where the bit is snug but can still be slid in and out. The Chuck should not be completely tightened until we set the bit depth for sharpening in Step 4. When viewing a well-sharpened bit from the end, the entire surface from the Cutting Edge to the Heel will have a finely ground surface without ridges or indentations. The Heel will always be lower than the Cutting Edge; this is called positive relief. Note: A good test to see if the Chuck is tightened the correct amount is to make sure it moves when you pull on it with your fingers, but will not fall out when you turn the Chuck upside down. With the machine turned off, align the White Triangle on the Chuck with the Cam Guide. While keeping the Chuck against the Cam Guide on the 360X, insert the Chuck into the Sharpening Port. Remove the Chuck and make sure it is tight so the bit won't move when you sharpen it. Making sure that the Chuck rests firmly against the Cam Guide, turn the Chuck one half-turn to the right--to the other Sharpening Guide. Turn from Guide to Guide in a smooth and even motion until the bit is sharp. To sharpen both sides of the bit evenly, always use an even number of half-turns. The number of half-turns needed to sharpen the bit depends on its size. Turn the Chuck an even number of half-turns with light inward pressure: · Note: Use just enough pressure to keep the Cam against the Cam Guide. Before sharpening you should know: · Keep the Cam in contact with the Cam Guide as you sharpen--push the Chuck straight into the Port. ⷠYou will hear a grinding noise (zzzzzzzzz) as you complete each half-turn and each side of the bit face is ground. Identifying Correctly Sharpened Drill Bits (and what to do with those that aren't!Align either of the Sharpening Guides on the Chuck with the Cam Guide and insert the Chuck in the Sharpening Port. The entire surface from the Cutting Edge to the Heel will have a finely ground surface without ridges or indentations. The Heel will always be lower than the Cutting Edge (positive relief). [. . . ] With a dry cloth wipe the inside and outside of the Sharpening Port to remove any grinding dust that may have accumulated. Disconnect your Drill Doctor, make sure machine is cool, then remove Wheel Access Cover. Unscrew the Knob from the body and clean both threads with a soft brush or cotton swab. Re-assemble the Chuck and operate the Knob through its Chuck Jaws travel to ensure it turns freely. [. . . ]
