Chisel grind, eh? Never knew what it was called.. cool. It makes for one mean cutting bit, that’s no lie! I don’t think it’s boasting to say I freehand a hell of a nice grind! Being only having the one hand & all. It took me some time to relearn the movement minus a hand..ya know? But that was 2014. I’ve honed the skill since & am quite proud of what I can do. I use my belt grinder, not a bench grinder. Only thing I do is draw a line to follow on the table rest at 135 degree.
As for bits, I always find great deals on bits. Most of the bits I get are made by Drill America. I also have several from Topline. And I’ll admit, I have a few Solid Tungsten bits from Uxcell, which is a Chinese company. But I’ve found their Tungsten bits to be very good quality, and the best price by far. For instance, I recently needed a 2.5mm and found a Uxcell 2-pack of Solid Tungsten bits for $7.99. I get that brand whenever I just need need a hole drilled in super hard material like heat treated steel above 55HRC, or Titanium.
