Abstract
This invention relates to a drill sharpening gauge which can be positioned close to an abrasive motor-driven wheel so that the operator can quickly check the length of the edges of the drill bit at the tip of the drill to insure that both edges are the same length and thus the angles are equal, and with present manufacturing technology the drill sharpening gauge of this invention is one that can be easily and economically made.
