Hi,
How do I sharpen a tapered drill bit.
Thanx,
Randy

I could not find one source for this service - but did find 2 sources complaining that the cost to sharpen at a local shop was half the price of a new bit.

I checked out all the sharpeners, like Drill Doctor, too - but found none of them handle tapereds.

Sounds like between time finding a shop to do it - and what it would cost you - you may be better off just buying a new bit.

Yep RickJ about nailed that one, I spent more time researching that one than I have almost any question on here, and nothing was found for the tapered ones.

Go to menards or lowes and buy a drill bit sharpener, its a little fixture that you put the drill bit into and it has the correct angle set in it so you just put it to your grinding wheel and its the correct angle and clearence. Good luck
