OK how do you sharpen drill bits?

Buy a job lot of secondhand ex-engineering works HSS bits from an
autojumble. I haven't bought (or sharpened) a drill bit in ages.

I was just wondering why Dave hasn't offered any hints on how to
sharpen them.

Mmm, I generally use a carborundum stone, as i'm usually only
freshening the edge anyway. However, since I got a selection it's not
been necessary. Quality bits keep their edge, and using them in a
drill press prolongues the life.

Cheers,

Paul.
