Sharpen Forstner Bits?

[JRD]

Ok, There are times when I feel infected with terminal dumb, and this is one of them.

Working today, I ran my drill press at too high a speed, effectively ruining a one inch forstner bit.

Can they be sharpened, or is it best just to buy another and toss the old one out?

Jim,

I run one of those diamond card sharpeners over my forstner and router bits every now and again. I think it helps, but if it too far gone that would be good excuse to by a whole new set!:slap:
