Axe to Grind. To have a grievance with someone, especially where one feels the need to seek damaging retribution. The phrase probably originates from the act of sharpening an axe with a grinding wheel, with the intent (in this definition) to get revenge on someone by maiming or killing them. ;) Five years ago that guy stole my idea for an invention and made tons of money off it! I've had an axe to grind with him ever since.
A bench grinder is easily one of the best ways to sharpen drill bits that are very worn, or even broken. If you drill through lots of hardwood or metal, or if you often hit masonry or nails with your twist drill bits, a grinder will put an edge back on them, fast. Most bench grinders come with two sharpening wheels, one coarse and one fine. You can do the bulk of the sharpening quickly using the coarse wheel. Then, move over to the fine wheel to put the finishing touches to the drill point. As you sharpen drill bits, a bench grinder makes it easy for you to dip the points briefly in water.
