I use a diamond hone. The ones I have are mounted on a plastic backing. I
file the flat, (on a chisel it would be the back) and then touch up the bevel and they work really well. max Does anyone have experience with sharpening brad point drill bits? |

I wondered then, and wonder now, are you touching up bradpoints with spurs? (I don't think so.) Or are you grinding a twist drill to have a brad point and flat cutting edge? All of the bits have spurs. Your wheel has to have relatively sharp corners. If you place a manufactured bit up against the corner of a grinding wheel you will see how it's done. It's hard to explain. I was shown how to do it while still an apprentice. (When I had to walk 10 miles to and from school, up hill both ways and sharing one shoe with my sister) ;) I'll take some photos if I remember, when the temperature drops below 40 and the shed stops being an oven. regards John |

Does anyone have experience with sharpening brad point drill bits? Grizzly has a $6 diamond hone cone which works well if you don't have one of Lee Valley's auger bit files. The diamond works on wee bits. http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...=1,43072,43089 -- Adults are obsolete children. --Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel, 1904-1991) -- www.diversify.com - Websites for children of ALL ages |
