How to sharpen a drill bit?

For a 16 mm bit.

Any tips, gigs and rigs to sharpen welcome.

Just back from Bunnings - around $44 to replace.

Cheers!

At 16mm, that's outside the capacity of handy drilling sharpeners like the Multi-Sharp Drill Bit Sharpener. If you are confident using a bench grinder, you could sharpen it that way, or you'd likely need to look at having it professionally restored.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks @MitchellMc .

I put on my filthiest 'tramp' clothes and approached two guys in a local engineering workshop with my poor old geezer aura.

They took pity on me and resharpened the drill - no charge! 😁

I'll bring a cake next time.
