A fixture assembly may include a housing, a clamp assembly, and a drive mechanism. The clamp assembly may be movably mounted to the housing and may include a first clamp member and a second clamp member. The first and second clamp members may be linearly movable relative to the housing toward and away from each other. The drive mechanism may be coupled to the clamp assembly and the housing and may drive the clamp assembly relative to the housing such that the first clamp member moves linearly toward the second clamp member at a first speed in a first direction and the second clamp member moves linearly toward the first clamp member at a second speed in a second direction that is opposite the first direction. The first speed may be different than the second speed.

An apparatus comprising a cylindrical die holder base containing two recessed compartments, two different abrasive coated sharpen dies, a cylindrical index containing drill bit guide holes used to align drill bit dead center with the sharpening dies, male and female hemispheres on the index and the base to ensure alignment, a spring assembly allowing for separation of index from base while rotating index, a cylindrical safety guard used to cover index holes that are not aligned with sharpening dies, a locking knob used to lock and unlock index to base to allow or disallow rotation, and a radiused handle with a flat bottom used to safely hold drill sharpening device down on a flat surface while in use.
