You can do it by hand with a bit of practice. From: Glen Waldrop Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2015 4:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Sharpening Drill Bits
My dad has always sharpened his own, so I tend to do the same. In my experience, if used in wood they can be sharpened with little issue. If you drill through metal, buy a new one. It loses some of the hardness on the edge. It really needs to be tempered again after sharpening. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rory Conaway To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2015 5:18 PM Subject: [AFMUG] Sharpening Drill Bits We are paying $15-$25 for longer drill bits. When they start to get dull, just wondering if anyone has had success sharpening them or do you just buy new ones?
