Wow. I would have never guessed those were the same tools!
Well done Bob.

Bob,

They certainly came out nice

Nice work Bob. I would have never thought to unsolder the broken drills. I will have to remember that.

I'm surprised to learn that the smaller drills were "soldered" into the tapers! How did you know that Bob?

Thinking about it - it makes sense otherwise the shank would need to be HSS. Of course, on the cheap drills only the tips are HSS which is why you can only sharpen them so many times. I guess if you heat them up either the tip or the shank will fall off!
