Read a post earlier about Sorby having plans for more videos in the future.
I'm hoping they consider doing one concerning drill bit sharpening, as simple as they are.
Interestingly, maybe because they ARE so simple (?) I see almost zero questions or comments regarding the subject.
Maybe I'm the only one who uses drill bits or has dull ones? ;>)
Happy Holidays folks!

Hi Rick, have to confess to seldom sharpening drill bits. But will call attention to your request.

after note: My 2 contacts in Robert Sorby are on holiday until 2nd January, but have been asked to look at this thread.

Ask any ten woodturners for an opinion on how x is achieved, you can expect at least eleven different answers.

Good morning Rick and Pete

Happy New Year to you both and your families...

In one of the original Robert Sorby ProEdge videos named 'Sharpening woodturning tools'...the name is a little misleading as it shows sharpening several different items including drill bits...it is only a short clip (8 minutes 38 seconds into the video and runs until around 9 minutes 12) but it does show a close up of a drill bit being sharpened...I hope this is helpful to you Rick.
