And make sure it is not in reverse. *A guy at work, Bob, was having trouble
drilling a hole so he asked the maintenance guy to sharpen the bit. He did.
A few minutes later, Bob comes back and says "you sure screwed can't sharpen
a drill bit, it is no better than before" *The maintenance guy took the
drill from his hand, pulled the trigger, and you can guess the rest.


Have to admit; been there, done that, with a new set of bits, felt
like a fool.
