Using my new DD 500x for the first time, I realized that in the alignment port there is only one mark - 118*
My bits are 135.
There are several markings on either side of the 118 (+ and -)
The manual says that each marking is 10*
The sharpening port only has two presets 118 and 135
So in the alignment port the closest I could get was either 128 or 138
I went with 128* aligned and then the 135 preset.
I did my whole set of expensive black and gold HSS bits this way and I can't test them out at home, the true test will be at work when they HAVE to work!
Will this be a problem?
The relief angle is still angled downward from the leading edge so I'm thinking they should be okay because of that, but then again I don't know too much about drills!
