Having the pin vice's handle being larger than the knurled area allows the Tormek DBS-22 to hold the pin vice without it shifting. (Yes, that is something I learned the hard way.) You will need a good magnifying glass and good light. These are difficult to see with the naked eye (especially in poor light). Care must be taken when grinding the secondary facet on bits this small. It is very easy to over grind this. Check after each pass on the grindstone. Consider honing the primary grind with a high grit stone (e.g., Tormek SJ-250 Japanese Waterstone). There is no need to hone the secondary facet as it is merely to allow space for chip evacuation. Tertiary Facets Addition of a tertiary facet can be useful for helping to remove waste as the hole is drilled. There is no guidance on the angle for these; only that they need to be greater than the secondary facets. If an angle is needed: Secondary Facet = 20° Tertiary Facet = 45° The Tormek DBS-22 Drill Bit Sharpening Attachment is not designed for a 6-facet grind, so values are not shown for it. A modification to the DBS-22 was made by Janne for 6-facet grinding, and more information can be found on the Tormek Forum. Secondary Point Angles (SPA) SPAs For tougher materials, an SPA is useful for reducing the stress on the outside cutting lip corners. (This is well outlined in Joseph Mazoff's document {see below}.) However, the Tormek DBS-22 Drill Bit Sharpening Attachment is not designed for a grinding SPAs, so it is not outlined here. Experience in using larger drill bits shows that SPAs help to reduce wander when drilling deep holes. On GadgetBuilder's web site (referenced below), it was noted: These extra facets cause the drill to have a stronger self centering action and the sharp outer point on the cutting lip is eliminated so the drill remains sharp longer. The chip is weakened by the difference in cutting action between the primary and SPA facets so long spirals are less common because the chips are prone to break. (...) When through drilling the SPA reduces or eliminates the exit burr on most materials. Again, on GadgetBuilder's web site, it was noted: Secondary Point Angles (SPAs) can be added to extend drill life, improve hole finish and minimize the exit burr on through-drilled holes. Notes: As symmetry of the grind would dramatically affect the use of the drill bit, be very careful to make them consistent. SPAs are not terribly useful on smaller drill bits.

Having the pin vice's handle being larger than the knurled area allows the Tormek DBS-22 to hold the pin vice without it shifting. (Yes, that is something I learned the hard way.) You will need a good magnifying glass and good light. These are difficult to see with the naked eye (especially in poor light). Care must be taken when grinding the secondary facet on bits this small. It is very easy to over grind this. Check after each pass on the grindstone. Consider honing the primary grind with a high grit stone (e.g., Tormek SJ-250 Japanese Waterstone). There is no need to hone the secondary facet as it is merely to allow space for chip evacuation. Tertiary Facets Addition of a tertiary facet can be useful for helping to remove waste as the hole is drilled. There is no guidance on the angle for these; only that they need to be greater than the secondary facets. If an angle is needed: Secondary Facet = 20° Tertiary Facet = 45° The Tormek DBS-22 Drill Bit Sharpening Attachment is not designed for a 6-facet grind, so values are not shown for it. A modification to the DBS-22 was made by Janne for 6-facet grinding, and more information can be found on the Tormek Forum. Secondary Point Angles (SPA) SPAs For tougher materials, an SPA is useful for reducing the stress on the outside cutting lip corners. (This is well outlined in Joseph Mazoff's document {see below}.) However, the Tormek DBS-22 Drill Bit Sharpening Attachment is not designed for a grinding SPAs, so it is not outlined here. Experience in using larger drill bits shows that SPAs help to reduce wander when drilling deep holes. On GadgetBuilder's web site (referenced below), it was noted: These extra facets cause the drill to have a stronger self centering action and the sharp outer point on the cutting lip is eliminated so the drill remains sharp longer. The chip is weakened by the difference in cutting action between the primary and SPA facets so long spirals are less common because the chips are prone to break. (...) When through drilling the SPA reduces or eliminates the exit burr on most materials. Again, on GadgetBuilder's web site, it was noted: Secondary Point Angles (SPAs) can be added to extend drill life, improve hole finish and minimize the exit burr on through-drilled holes. Notes: As symmetry of the grind would dramatically affect the use of the drill bit, be very careful to make them consistent. SPAs are not terribly useful on smaller drill bits. Addition of SPAs to a drill bit does not make this a 6-point grind; only adding tertiary facets does that. This may seem like a bit of a nomenclature thing, but it is important to be clear.

However, the Tormek DBS-22 Drill Bit Sharpening Attachment is not designed for a grinding SPAs, so it is not outlined here. Experience in using larger drill bits shows that SPAs help to reduce wander when drilling deep holes. On GadgetBuilder's web site (referenced below), it was noted: These extra facets cause the drill to have a stronger self centering action and the sharp outer point on the cutting lip is eliminated so the drill remains sharp longer. The chip is weakened by the difference in cutting action between the primary and SPA facets so long spirals are less common because the chips are prone to break. (...) When through drilling the SPA reduces or eliminates the exit burr on most materials. Again, on GadgetBuilder's web site, it was noted: Secondary Point Angles (SPAs) can be added to extend drill life, improve hole finish and minimize the exit burr on through-drilled holes. Notes: As symmetry of the grind would dramatically affect the use of the drill bit, be very careful to make them consistent. SPAs are not terribly useful on smaller drill bits. Addition of SPAs to a drill bit does not make this a 6-point grind; only adding tertiary facets does that. This may seem like a bit of a nomenclature thing, but it is important to be clear.
