Sharpening Kreg Pocket Hole Drill Bits
tenderfootbob
| Posted in General Discussion on
I have one of the first Kreg Pocket Hole Jigs (one hole). After considerable use the pocket hole drill bit is getting dull. Since I do not want to pay $18 for a new bit, is there a way to sharpen my old bit?
Any help would be much appreciated,
Tenderfoot Bob

I am looking for the same. I face this type of problem many times during fixing and maintaining the furniture at hometown.
Kreg drill bit resharpening
I remembered Kreg at one point took them in to be resharpened but I don't see anything like that on their website. A Google search found me this old facebook page, but not sure if it's still valid. If it still is, looks like they do it for free, but you pay shipping both ways.

The Kreg web site says that they stopped the sharpening service 01/31/21019. Probably the best thing is to use a diamond paddle or card and carefully clean the cutting edges. This would be about the same as sharpening a router or forstner bit.
