I've looked for period instructions on how to sharpen these and came up empty in the past. I'd be curious to know if anyone can dig anything up. Lacking any concrete evidence, I looked at the NOS bits I have and found that they appear to be simply ground across the flute at an obtuse angle, maybe 135 degrees. I've done the same with my bits and it works well. They are simple tools and pretty hard to screw up. Josh |
