Drill Bits

[frank_n]

Does anyone get drill bits sharpened?
Is it worth getting them sharpened?
How much does it cost?
Who sharpens them?
My flex bit alone is about $40.

I had a 4" hole saw sharpened for about $5. I looked in the phone book for a place that offered sharpening service.

I sharpen all my own drill bits. If fact I really do not like the factory edge and normally on 1/4 or larger will just sharpen the bits to my standard. My father in law makes hunting knives so he has taught me a few tricks. A few minutes and my bits last at least 5 times longer.
