I did it but I should not be an example of a pro ;) This knife sharpener can be used as a grinder but a proper bench grinder is always a better solution. Remember to choose quite smooth stone, as large grains will not provide you with a spectacular effects.

Choose the best side of the Phillips driver tip to find the right angle for grinding.

All you have to do now is power the grinder and drill in the same time and gently, very gently get the desired shape.

The driver bit is going to be very sharp at the top you will need to grind the top a bit to make it blunt = safe.

When grinding the sharp pointed top of the bit remember to apply very, very little force as it will grind off very easily.

Your Done. Before and After Shots ;)
