I have a fixture from draper that allows you to set the angle of the rake for the drill and then you use it against the bench grinder to get a good edge. You can try to re grind a drill by the “Rack of the eye” method but you need a steady hand, it’s okay to use that method if need a drill right there and then but it won’t really be accurate. The draper fixture is okay and not too expensive and will give a good result once you’ve got used to using it.
