Yes. I seem to have the feel for it on anything over 1/4" or maybe even 3/16 in a pinch. I use a belt sander, not a grinder.
Oh....right. Good, then
Sounds like more than the drilBIT could get hurt doing that. Never tried that trick. I _have_ nearly broken my thumb.

But I thought they were _Silver and Deming_ in the US.......
I've just known them as reduced shank.

Well, if it's just for the occasional, then go for it. I use reduced-shank bits, 200 RPM, and patience.
