DRILL DOCTOR Grinds tungsten electrodes

I do not use the adaptor (collet) for sharpening drill bits when sharpening my tungsten electrodes. I simply use the drill doctor as a diamond wheel rotating at high speed. I hold the electrode in my hands, insert it into a big opening. That opening is used for aligning drill bits in DD collets. With the collet removed, it is about 1" diameter window. Insert the electrode into that window, adjust its position by hand, and grind it. I assumed you were using the DD with the drill bit holder. My mistake. In normal use with the holder can you adjust it to angles other than 118 and 135? Basically, think about a dremel tool that's being held in a vice. The cool thing about the lithium dremel is that it has a flat bottom so it sit flat and you can use your legs to stabilize it. |
