Maybe it was a waste, but it was only $50 and I enjoy doing things

Should the diamond grinding wheel or the bit being sharpened be
wet with some liquid like silicon or WD-40?


i run my Darex drill sharpener dry

I also made a channel to help cut my aluminum flat bar forks.
Haven't used it yet, but it will help do it right.

I don't know if you can even use coolant with a Drill Doctor, but with
a CBN wheel, don't use coolant with a rust inhibitor in it. The
chemistry isn't compatible. (Something I learned by interviewing wheel
manufacturers a decade ago.)

Ordinary soluble oils are recommended in production and toolroom
applications.
