CMT Solid Carbide Drill Bit Sharpening

10/26/2016


From original questioner:

We use 8mm solid carbide CMT HWM 14-6346 drill bits in our boring machine. Our normal sharpener Vortex says they can not sharpen them because of the geometry.

Can anyone recommend someone who can? They are $50+ each.

what angle are they? I have a drill Doctor that has a diamond wheel that will sharpen carbide bits

On those, you just sharpen the end of the drill back to what you need.

From contributor Bi


Jerry that will not work in this case.

Chuck I am not sure I understand what you mean.

From contributor Ch


Bill,

You sharpen them down or make the overall length of the bit shorter.

From contributor Bi


Who sharpens it? I understand it gets shorter when it is sharpened but I do not have the equipment to sharpen it.

Is there a company who can?

From contributor Ch


We can, give us a call to discuss.
