Ok to all of you guys wanting to post you new whis bang thing take note of this video. We don't need to see you grinding for five minutes to cut a piece of angle to make what you need . or welding for two minutes. Show what your gonna do then move on. This video gets to it ,and also shows what it does and how it does it. To many videos show how you made it but not what it does.
This one wins ...

Measurements?

Surely he wasn’t going to use than “rock” to sharpen a drill bit?

Nice job, looks particularly useful, for small diameter drill bits, 3mm and smaller. (1/8" for our American cousins) ;) ;) ;)

I second the motion. While it's nice to see a video without lengthy segments of grinding/welding/painting/sanding/etc, it would also be great if some measurements would be provided so we don't have to try to perform some distance/area math voodoo based off of guesses regarding scale of objects present in the videos. It's a great homemade tool, but again, it'd be even nicer if there was even a 1 second blip of measurements/plans in there so one could freeze a frame and get 'em.

B17ch1n6 aside, however, I love this tool and will be attempting to perform some of that area/distance math video voodoo.

Slainte,

rtp, thanks for the comments!

superhl, thanks for the interest! I will post soon.

It helped in the process, but it was not purposeful. Thanks for the comment Wildwilly!

Yes, it works well for drills with small diameters. Drills with larger diameters are easier to sharpen, but they also need a larger grinding wheel. Thanks for the comments bigtrev8xl!

Thanks for the comments madmick77! I will post the dimensions soon.

Drill of 3.0 mm and 10.0 mm fixed in the device.

That video (as already stated) is one of,if not the best I have seen.
As for the tool top marks indeed.
