Why should I sharpen drill bits instead of replacing them?
Sharpening restores cutting efficiency, saves money over buying new bits, and reduces strain on your drill. A sharp bit produces cleaner holes, works faster, and is safer to use.
Are drill bit sharpeners suitable for all types of bits?
Most sharpeners are designed for standard twist drill bits made of HSS (high-speed steel). Some advanced models can handle masonry bits, cobalt bits, or even specialty tips, but always check the sharpener’s specifications.
How do I know when a drill bit needs sharpening?
Signs include squealing or smoking while drilling, excessive force required, rough hole edges, or visible rounding on the cutting edges. Regular inspection helps you sharpen before the bit becomes too damaged.
