When you get the hang of it try a left hand drill.

Try carving chisels.

Try carving chisels.

Then try turning chisels

Do you need a left hand grinder?

Just reverse the motor

Then try turning chisels

Then internal scribing chisels

Then internal scribing chisels

Try carbide

OK... try sharpening a bandsaw blade using a 9" angle grinder with a masonry disc, wearing a no.15 welding shade and boxing gloves, on a foggy day, while bouncing on a Spacehopper, on top of a waterbed, on a trampoline



I didn't say I could do it

I think that might be possible using some sort of gyroscope stabilization device

The biggest reason people cannot sharpen drills is the most overlooked one. Anybody can sharpen a drill. Nobody can sharpen a drill on a wheel that is shagged. Forget the jigs and the gimmicks. Get yourself a decent wheel dresser and it’s so much easier on a square and unclogged / unglazed wheel....

In desperate times, a concrete cutting diamond impregnated angle grinder disc (when you've bought the wrong size...) dragged edge-on against the wheel dresses it pretty well and very quickly.
