Operation Safety Overview
The Model H8203 features a tapered CBN (cubic
boron nitride grinding wheel that sharpens twist
drill bits using a three-step process. The included
CBN grinding wheel sharpens HSS, TiN-coated,
and cobalt bits. An optional SDC 170 grinding
wheel (Page 19) sharpens carbide bits.

the "0" position, then align the arrow on the
calibrating device with the number on the dial
that corresponds to the drill bit diameter.
For example, turn the dial to "7" for a 7mm
diameter drill bit, as shown in Figure 11.
The following steps must be done to prepare the
drill bit to be sharpened.
To calibrate the drill bit:
1. Use the chart below or the one on the collet
tray cover to select the appropriate collet for
your drill.

6. Turn the collet holder clockwise until it stops,
push the bit forward as far as it will go into the
calibrating device, then turn the bit clockwise
until it stops, as shown in Figure 13 & 14.
Figure 13. Drill bit positioned in calibrating
device, top view.
7. Thread the locking ring fully onto the collet
holder, then remove the collet holder and drill
bit from the machine.
8. Tug on the bit to verify that it is locked in the
collet.
—If the bit moves, use a smaller collet size
and repeat Steps 1-8.
9. The drill bit is properly calibrated when the
notch on the collet holder and the drill bit cut-
ting lip are parallel, as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15. Cutting edge parallel to collet holder
notch.
— If you are using a standard drill bit, find the
closest metric size. For example, turn the
dial to "8" for a 3/8" drill bit.
—If you are sharpening aircraft extension or
deep hole drill bits, select a number on the
dial that is double the drill bit diameter. For
example, set the calibration dial to "10" for
a 5mm aircraft extension drill bit.
5. Fully insert the collet holder with the drill bit
into the calibrating device, so the holder and
device are flush and the pin fits into the collet
holder notch as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 14. Drill bit positioned in calibrating
device, side view.
-16- H8203 Professional Drill Sharpening Machine
The Model H8203 allows you to select a specific
point angle based on the type of material to be
drilled. For general purpose use, such as wood
and soft metal, set the point angle to 118º (see
Figure 16). Set the point angle at 135º or 140º for
drilling harder workpieces such as stainless steel,
or 90º-100º for drilling soft cast iron workpieces.
To adjust the point angle:
1. Determine the point angle of your bit.
—If you want to grind the same angle that is
already on your bit, match the bit with one
shown in Figure 16.

—If you are not certain of the bit angle or
want to select a different point angle, base
the angle on the material softness or hard-
ness of your application.
2. Use the included hex wrench to loosen the
cap screw on the point angle scale (Figure
17).
3. Turn the scale to the desired angle and tight-
en the cap screw.

Front Grinding Area
The grinding wheel adjusts the drill bit point angle
and taper relief angle in the front grinding area
(Figure 18).
To grind the point angle:
1. Make sure the grinding wheel cover is
secured, turn the machine ON, and wait for
the machine to reach full speed.
2. Insert and rotate the collet holder into the
front grinding area so the notch on the collet
holder fits against the edge on the grinding
area flange, as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 18. Drill bit point angle.
To reduce risk of fire or explosion from hot
metal or chips, do not operate machine near
flammable materials.
H8203 Professional Drill Sharpening Machine -17-
3. While pressing the collet holder forward
gently, rotate the drill bit back and forth, and
about every four seconds, dip the bit in water
to cool the tip. This will help prevent the tip
from overheating and softening too much.
4. Continue grinding until the machine stops
making grinding sounds.
5. Remove the collet holder and drill bit, rotate
them 180º, then reinsert the collet holder and
drill bit into the front grinding area.
6. Repeat Steps 3 & 4.
7. Examine the point angle.
—If the point angle is even on both sides
of the bit, (Figure 16), and no unground
material remains, as shown in Figure 20,
the point angle is correct. Now, go to Rear
Trimming Area to grind a back angle.
Note: It is not necessary to grind a back relief
on a standard bit. However, doing so will
ensure the bit cuts more efficiently.
Rear Trimming Area
The grinding wheel grinds a back relief on stan-
dard and split point bits in the rear trimming area.
Adding back relief to a standard bit makes it more
efficient in removing material from a workpiece.
Some trial and error will be needed to determine
the correct amount of back relief, as shown in
Figures 21 & 22.

To add back relief to a standard bit:
1. Loosen the cap screws (Figure 23) on the
rear trimming area and lower the set screw
to raise the adjusting block to its highest posi-
tion.
Figure 20. No unground surfaces remain on bit
after point angle grinding (top view).
—If the surface of the drill bit retains unground
material, try grinding the bit again, or use a
different point angle setting.
—If the point angle is not shaped evenly,
repeat Steps 1-6, using even pressure to
grind both sides of the bit.
Back Relief
NOTICE
You can ruin a drill bit by grinding it too
long or too forcefully. Frequently dip the
bit in water to cool it and retain its original
hardness. If the tip becomes blue or purple,
it may have overheated and be too soft to
use.
-18- H8203 Professional Drill Sharpening Machine
To prevent getting burned during the next
step, do not touch the end of a freshly
ground bit, which may be hot.
2. Tighten the cap screws, making sure the cen-
ter of the rear trimming hole is over the edge
of the grinding wheel, as shown in Figure
24.
— If the back relief is not sufficient (Figure
25), continue lowering the adjusting block
until the back relief looks like the example
in Figure 21.
3. Make sure the grinding wheel cover is
secured, turn the machine ON, and wait for
the machine to reach full speed.
4. Insert the collet holder and bit into the rear
trimming area so the pins fit into the notch on
the collet holder as shown in Figure 23.
5. Press the collet holder and bit down, and
after about four seconds dip the tip in water.
Continue alternating between grinding and
cooling until the machine stops making grind-
ing noises.
Note: The harder you press down on the
collet holder, the larger the back relief will
be.
6. Remove the collet holder and drill bit, rotate
them 180º, reinsert them into the trimming
area, and repeat Step 5.
Figure 24. Rear trimming hole center over
grinding wheel edge (cover removed for clarity).
8. Remove the bit from the collet holder.
To create a split point bit:
1. Follow Steps 1-7 for creating a back relief on
a standard bit.
2. Continue lowering the adjusting block, grind-
ing the drill bit on both sides, examining it,
and carefully adjusting the block down until
the back relief looks like the example in
Figure 22.
Be careful not to lower the adjusting block too
far, or the point may oversplit, as shown in
Figure 26.
Figure 25. Back relief on standard bit too small.

3. Remove the bit from the collet holder.
Figure 26. Oversplit point.
7. Remove the collet holder and examine the
bit.
— If the back relief matches the one in Figure
21 you are finished.
