Split Point Drill sharpening

First of all, thanks for watching and for your honest feedback.

Hello Bob,
it's dangerous if it broke and that can comes easily.

I'm not sure that I agree with that. Eye protection is a must, of course. But this cutoff wheel only weighs maybe 20 or 30 grams. So if it breaks, while it could definitely mess up an eye, it's pretty much harmless to the rest of my body, at least as far as permanent damage goes. I don't count a little scratch on my hands or arms as "danger".

I also have pneumatic and electric cutoff tools. A full size cutoff wheel is much larger and has a lot more mass. Those I could consider dangerous to use in this fashion. (Even though I still do it, I admit that I'm doing something dangerous. ) But these little tiny dremel cutoff wheels just aren't dangerous, outside of eye protection.
