Sharpening a Forstner bit?
wrote:
I have a large (3.5") Forstner bit that has lost its edge. Is there a
DIY way to sharpen it, or is this something that must be done by a
professional? It looks like I might be able to hone the teeth and the
knife edges, but I'd like to hear what you folks have to say about it
before I do.
Thanks.

Here's an instruction page that I printed out years ago:
