You've sharpened chisels, you've sharpened plane iron.

You got ambitious and you've sharpened drill bits and that old saw you picked up at the carboot sale!

More information is needed....

Back gears yes-no?
HSS or Carbide?
Coolant yes-no?
On Centre - Below Centre?
Will a Three jaw self centre chuck do or should one use the four jaw independent?

Toolpost grinder and topslide set round by sinebar and DTI, pencil held in special collet adaptor, surely?
