Just bought a drill sharpening attachment for the AR5-c and fitted it. Had to buy most of a machine so now got extra spares!

The drill grinder is marked for different sizes, but I am not sure about the lip rest – does the flute-land corner touch the top or side? [not my machine, just a handy picture]

Also the drill projection is unknown and has a big effect on the relief.

Does anyone have a manual that describes using this attachment?

Thanks

Gary

bit embarrassed to say I found my copy in the computer equivalent of the pending tray!

And it perfectly answered the questions about setup, although it also points out that the attachment only works for 13mm dills and larger so perhaps it won’t replace all the other setups previously tried.
