Turner85 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Has anyone ever sharpened these bits I've included in the pic. I'm not really sure how there done if someone could link a video maybe. It's just the countersink part that I'm looking to do. I've already replaced the pilot bit.

Mr. Yellow Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 I think you can sharpen them the same way as router bits are sharpened...Sent from the yellow planet using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 we used to use lard for lapping lubricant in the machine shop so if you don't have the actual oil lard is pretty easy to get a hold of.......also kerosene will do the same if that is easier to get.

jeffmcmillan Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'm not sure sharpening systems like a drill doctor can do the correct angles for those bits, but if you sharpen them by hand the only difference from a normal split point bit is the angle. Personally I prefer a bench grinder and just finish the edge with a stroke or two on a whetstone. Be sure to check if it is carbide tipped because then you need diamond abrasives.
