    Recently a machinist told me how to sharpen a drill..there some
    burs... Hold the bit parallel to the floor with the tip angled into
    the wheel, Move the tip into the fine grinding wheel at just below
    the middle of the wheel (like polishing), Move the bit vertically in a
    straight up motion, 

    The tip will be grounded appropriately with the correct angle, Rotate
    the bit and continue to sharpen! 

    I haven't tried this as of yet...so if anyone does...please provide
    the results in a new thread....May I suggest a 'Thread Title of....
    Bit/Bur Sharpening
