Hi Just Wondering If Anyone can tell me how to sharpen auger bits?
Or point me in the right place to get info?

Mainly the ones with 2 cutting edges ether side of the worm if that makes sense...

Thanks
Mitchell

Billyboy,

First, you need to get a tapered auger bit file (smooth on one edge).  There are several YouTube videos that give a good demonstration.  One key thing is to try to sharpen each side evenly (same number of file strokes).

Also very important is to not file on the outside of the bit. This reduces the diameter of the hole and will bind the bit.
