If you really want to sharpen tiny drill bits you should consider something like a Swiss Meteor sharpener. Unless you dull an awful lot of some bits such will never be cost effective.

Thanks Ken, that I guess is the path I'll take. After I check my stock of 1/16" sc bits. I know I have rn's but square nose is a ? Question driven by the relatively poor eyesight at 88 compared to what it was at 44. Then I could walk over to the bench grinder and make a pretty dangerous 1/16" bit by hand. No more after cat surgery in both, and laser in one recently. Getting old is for the birds, but the alternative is worse. :o)> Take care and stay well, Ken Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
