In this video, Vic Tesolin shows you everything you need to know to sharpen an auger bit. First, he’ll help you determine whether your bit has any life left and help you check the threads for damage. Next, he’ll explain how to use an auger bit file and why it’s the right tool for the job. Sharpening begins by filing the spurs of the auger bit, being sure to keep both spurs the same height to ensure they cut evenly. Next, sharpen the main cutting edge.
