Hi everyone
I'm familiar with sharpening the more common drill bits like HSS, Forstner, Auger etc, but there seems little info for glass/tile bits or masonry bits with their tungsten carbide tips.
I read somewhere that a diamond or green silicon carbide grinding wheel would do the job for masonry bits, so presumably this would be good for the tile/glass bit aswell?
But what about angles etc? Whilst some of my masonry bits have one sloping side to the carbide cutting tip, some slope both ways. There seems no guides on this sort of detail on the web.
And what about by hand. Anything that can be used, if a grinding wheel is not available?
Many thanks
