    use your mits its not to difficult its a good life skill out of 1000 people in the machining business i guarantee only about 10 could do it by hand thank god im not one of them
    the dyno pull to 300rwkw

    BT20v is making 300rwkw like i said i would without nitrous so now its time for some spray and see if she will run a 10s or less

    Same as what everyone else is saying, its one of those things youd want to learn if you have half an interest in what youre doing.

    When I started my apprenticeship, our tafe teacher made us make a quick angle template which we used for drill bits, welding prep and a whole range of stuff, maybe make one and go crazy.

    There are all kinds of complicated jigs and gadgets out there for sharpening drill bits. But the fact is, twist drill bits are actually quite easy to sharpen by hand. And if you mess up, the worst that can happen is that you grind away a few millimeter of drill until you get it right.
