Hi Dale I am going to sharpen my masonry bits later on today I will let you know whether it is successful or I have destroyed my machine. There is one in particular needs my attention because it hit some reinforcing mesh in the cement when I was locking down the frame I made for my air conditioner. Disaster or success I will know later either way this masonry drill is no good at the moment. Will let you know how I go.

Masonry bits are very differently shaped, no under-cut, and the carbide tipped ones are very hard. Just curious, big masonry bits are very expensive and they do grind badly when drilling. Thanks.
