Default RE: Twist Drill Sharpening Tips

Twist drills that have the thinner web thickness at the point are less difficult to sharpen, you dont have to try to relieve the back of the flute help form a "centerless" tip and you reduce the chance of wiping out the other blade trying to sharpen.

The larger the web thickness, the more feed pressure you need for it to cut ~ if your not step drilling or using a pilot hole.
