Josh, the casual 'resharpened the bit when done' has me utterly envious. Sharpening drill bits freehand is a skill that got deleted from my DNA at the embryonic stage. I had an uncle who was a fitter & he showed me several times how 'easy' it is, but I still make an unholy mess of it every time I try!
The safest way for me is to start with a relatively small drill, & work up to full size in 1mm steps. Apart from reducing the chance of a 'grab', you get a neater, more accurate hole in the end, that way. It's when impatience takes hold & I try to move up too quickly that trouble strikes...
Cheers,IW
