Best bet is to learn to hand grind the bits, it costs nothing to let a

Yes there is a jig, gadget or fixture for those unwilling to learn a
manual skill but they really are not needed.

That depends -- I sometimes sharpen down to #70 drill bits, and
would hate to try to do that by hand. For that, I have a drill grinder
made by DuMore -- the makers of the toolpost grinders. They no longer
make this, but it was avaialble with collets for all the way down to #70
bits. Unlike most collets, these don't actually grip the drill bit
(which is gripped by a simple drill chuck), but rather stabilize the bit
nearer to the point. It will handle up to 1/4" bits.

Enjoy,
