The Bit Of the Auger Must be Sharp!
How to Sharpen an Auger Bit For a Brace and Bits
When a question gets asked once I think about it. When I get a second person asking the same question I add it to the list of videos I want to make. When I get 10 or more I make it a video the next chance I get. This one has been asked for more than that, so I think it is about time to step up and make a video on how to sharpen an auger bit. At first, I did not think this deserved its own video, but then I thought about it. So few people use bits that are meant to be sharpened anymore they just throw them out. However, an auger bit for a brace and bit deserves to be sharpened and no one knows how to do it anymore. I went to the selection of bits I had and chose ones that needed to be sharpened and found this sweet little adjustable bit that needed to be shown to the world.
In the end, a video that should have been 5 minutes long just showing the basics ended up being over 10 minutes long and crammed with information.
So, here you go.
