When I sharpen drills I start grinding on the heal and finish at the
cutting edge. Both videos showed the grinding starting at the cutting
edge and ending up grinding the heal. So I am curious how most people
grind drills by hand...

I can start from a precise position more easily than stopping in one.


Also, it's easier to overheat the edge if you start at the heel.

Personally, I grind the primary, the secondary, then finally I split the
point.
