For example, some people can sharpen drill bits by hand using a bench grinder. This is not recommend since it requires you to get your hand very close to the bench grinder which is extremely dangerous. There are some tools which act like a vice in which you would place the drill bit and this allows you to get the drill bit close enough to the bench grinder to sharpen it. This is much safer than hand held sharpening. It is also recommended that you sharpen your drill bits frequently to keep them sharp rather than waiting until they are dull.

A much easier way is learning how to sharpen drill bits properly and do this on a regular basis using a drill bit sharpening tool. There are several different types of tools, they are all very easy to use and some are even as simple as a slot that you drop the drill bit into and it sharpens it with the flick of a switch. While these drill bit sharpening tools may be slightly more expensive then using your existing bench grinder, but it is safer and easier.
