VDG-13L Left Hand Drill Grinder — Precision left-hand drill sharpener, Ø 2.1–13 mm (Vertex)
The VDG-13L Left Hand Drill Grinder is a compact sharpening machine designed for reconditioning HSS and SK drills in toolrooms and industrial workshops, delivering adjustable point geometry and consistent edge quality for frequent use
- Left-hand grinder for Ø 2.1–13 mm drills
- Adjustable point angle 118°–135°
- 230 V, 200 W motor; 5,300 rpm
- Includes CBN wheel and collet set
Accuracy and repeatability for everyday tool care
The VDG-13L focuses on precision reconditioning by restoring drill tips to a defined geometry. With a diameter range of Ø 2.1–13 mm and an adjustable point angle from 118°–135°, the unit re-establishes cutting edges that meet process tolerances, reducing scrap and rework. The supplied set of collets and the collet holder ensure concentric clamping and uniform centring, which is essential when consistent runout and identical point form are required for series workflows.
Robust drive and steady rotational speed for stable grinding
Equipped with a 230 V / 200 W motor running at 5,300 rpm, the machine provides the steady rotational speed needed for repeatable sharpening cycles. The fixed speed and stable spindle behaviour support predictable material removal, which simplifies cycle planning in a busy workshop. The unit’s total mass of 9 kg gives bench-mount stability while remaining portable enough for relocation between workstations.
Practical accessories that save setup time
The grinder is shipped with an 11-piece collet set (Ø 3–Ø 13 mm), a collet holder, a CBN grinding wheel and the Allen key required to change the wheel. These accessories allow immediate operation for common drill sizes and fast changeover when different diameters are required. The CBN wheel gives a long service life and consistent abrasive performance, meaning fewer wheel changes and lower consumable-related downtime.
Material compatibility and explained terminology
The unit supports re-sharpening of HSS and SK drills. High-speed steel (HSS) is a widely used tool material that benefits from correct point profiles to preserve cutting performance; reconditioning restores the primary clearance and chisel edge geometry. The adjustable point angle lets technicians adapt tip geometry for different tasks, for example a standard 118° for general drilling or a larger angle up to 135° for harder or abrasive materials.
Suited for workshops that value reliability and throughput
The left-hand orientation and compact footprint make the device suitable for small toolrooms and maintenance shops needing reliable reconditioning without complex setup. The CE certification confirms compliance with relevant safety standards, offering reassurance about conformity and safe integration into workshop routines. Its combination of repeatable results and straightforward accessory set helps to lower total tool costs and maintain machining quality across shifts.

FAQ
Which drill diameters can be sharpened with this grinder?
The VDG-13L supports re-sharpening from Ø 2.1 mm up to Ø 13 mm, covering common workshop drill sizes and enabling rapid changeover using the included collets.
Can the machine handle carbide drills?
The unit is specified for HSS and SK drills; carbide (solid carbide) reconditioning normally requires dedicated diamond-based equipment, so carbide sharpening is not recommended on this grinder.
How is the point angle adjusted and why does it matter?
The point angle is adjustable between 118° and 135° to match drilling tasks; a smaller angle offers faster penetration in soft materials while a larger angle improves edge life in harder or abrasive materials, thus influencing cutting behaviour and hole quality.
What consumables are included and which will need replacing?
Included accessories are an 11-piece collet set (Ø 3–Ø 13 mm), collet holder, CBN wheel and Allen key. The grinding wheel is a consumable expected to require replacement over extended use.
Is the grinder suitable for mobile workshop use?
At 9 kg the unit is relatively light and bench-mountable, allowing relocation when necessary; its compact design is intended for toolrooms and maintenance benches rather than heavy mobile use.

Take advantage of precise, repeatable point geometry and a comprehensive ER32 collet set to keep production running with fewer tool exchanges; the adaptor also broadens drilling options up to Ø20 mm for greater flexibility. Order the adaptor directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed. Adaptor for Drill Sharpening / VDG-13A — ER32 collet set, adjustable 90°–140° The Adaptor for Drill Sharpening / VDG-13A converts a VDG 13A grinder into a dedicated drill‑sharpening station, enabling accurate regrinds of HSS and SK drills for workshop and light industrial use ER32 collet set for Ø14–20 mm Adjustable angles for precise point geometry Compatible with VDG 13A drill grinder Includes collet chuck and ER32 key Consistent point geometry for reliable drilling performance The adaptor provides a controlled method to restore or modify drill point angles, delivering consistent, repeatable results that reduce scrap and rework. By using the supplied ER32 collet set (seven sizes covering Ø14–20 mm) the device secures the drill concentrically, which helps maintain symmetry during each regrind. This precision is particularly beneficial when refurbishing HSS and SK drills, as correct point geometry improves chip evacuation and reduces heat build-up, extending tool life and stabilising hole quality in serial operations. Wide angle range and extended diameter capability for flexible applications With two adjustable angle ranges—90°–140° for Ø14–18 mm and 118°–140° for Ø18–20 mm—the adaptor allows optimisation of the drill point for material and application, from fast‑cutting operations to deeper penetration tasks. The ability to tailor the point angle directly on the grinder simplifies setups and minimises downtime compared with sending tools out for regrinding. Compatible with the VDG 13A grinder, the attachment effectively extends grinding options up to Ø20 mm, enabling a broader range of internal workshop reconditioning without the need for additional machines. Ready for workshop routines and straightforward handling Delivered with a collet chuck, a set of seven ER32 collets and an ER32 key, the unit is designed for quick changeovers and robust clamping. The compact construction and 1 kg mass make it easy to fit and remove while preserving stability during grinding.
