How To Sharpen A Spade Drill Bit - by Old Sneelock's Workshop



Video description:
"Inexpensive and easy to find, Spade Bits are easy to sharpen also. Next time rather than tossing out the bit when it starts to cut slower, take a few minutes with a file and you’ll be back drilling in no time. "


To get certified for this BB, post photos or a two minute video of:

 - close up of the six dull forestner drill bits
 - mid-process with all sharpening equipment used for the forestner drill bits
 - close up of each of the edge of the six sharpened forestner drill bits
