With prior art spacers, some parts of the drill bit sharpener have to be removed when setting the sharpener for drill bits of different diameters or when changing gauges.
An important feature is that by using the spacer according to this invention there is no need to make such removal of parts.
An advantage of the spacer according to the invention is that the construction is much simpler than the types of the prior art.
Another advantage is that a wider variety of materials can be utilized for its construction.
Further advantages are that fewer parts are needed for the space setting when using the spacer according to this invention; and that the setting is visible at all times during the drill bit sharpening operation.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts that will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
