Mag drill cutter sharpening?

[gav0994]

I've got about 20 mag drill cutters ranging from 12mm to 35mm. The majority of them are now at the stage of needing sharpened. This is a job I am not happy to tackle due to the different angles of the cutting edges and the cost of the cutters if I balls it up.

Can anyone recommend somewhere I could send them to have them sharpened?

To add, I do use cutting fluid with them to prolong their life.

its cheaper to replace them. we have tried to find a company to sharpen ours that are used for drilling rail webs, no joy....

If they are not to bad, stroke them with a sharpening stone.
You easily find the angle.
but you bust take the back burr off.

cheers for them.

I've seen the JEI video of the sharpener. it looks a handy bit of kit. Can't find anywhere that sells it though. Would be a nice easy way of making a few pounds on a rainy day.

You can get plans for this- the Kennet. It's another thing on my must make list.

I remember when I first moved down to Devon a guy used to come in on a Tuesday to pick up blunt cutters and drop off the sharpened ones. Used to be £7 a cutter.
Must have been good value at the time as the boss was a tight fisted bugger and nothing would get past him
