Drill Bit Sharpener Tormek DBS-22 - The Drill Bit Sharpening Jig Attachment For Tormek Water-Cooled Sharpening Systems.

For years, professional craftspeople have asked “how can I sharpen my own drill bits?” Tormek, a leader in tool sharpening for more than 40 years, has responded with this exceptional DBS-22 Drill Bit Sharpening jig. For use with all Tormek sharpening systems (T-7, T-4, T-3, and Supergrind 2000), it allows you to keep your drill bits sharp and ready to work. The four-facet grind this jig produces is worth discussing, as we feel it’s infinitely superior to the common split-point grind other systems produce. The symmetrical four-facet grinding increases bit life, and allows the freshly sharpened bits to be self-centering, making your work a lot easier. Think about it – no pilot holes or punches needed for precision. Plus, a four-facet grind produces a bit that utilizes less torque and generates less heat (70% less heat) than a conventional bit. Another important aspect is this jig is part of a complete water-cooled sharpening system that will make your entire shop’s worth of tools finely honed, while taking less metal off the tools and bits, increasing longevity. You can buy a stand-alone “drill bit only” machine (like Drill Doctor) that produces the inferior split-point grind, or you can have a professional-grade Tormek system with interchangeable jigs like the DBS-22. For people who love good tools and the exceptional work they produce, the choice is clear.

Sharpen any bit between 1/8 inch and 7/8 inch in diameter, and create a four-facet point for exceptional drilling performance and longer bit life. The DBS-22 can be adjusted to a variety of angles depending on the style of your bit. Highly Adjustable and Compatible with Different Bits The DBS-22 attachment can hold drill bits that measure anywhere from 1/8 inch to 7/8 inch in diameter.
