    I see you are in Southland which is not too far from me. Give me a PM and you can come and visit and I can give you some pointers.

    The flutes on the drill are not as deep as the others. Relieve the flutes as Bobba has shown. Grinding jigs are OK to start out but with practice you will grind drills much faster with good hand...
