This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in tool care.

For this BB, you will sharpen two forestner drill bits.

Sharpening Forstner Bits



Video description:
"One method of maintaining, or initially setting up, you forstner bits. Sharpening is the key."

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

 - close up of the two 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 two sharpened forestner drill bits
