Depending on how dull the tool is, start with small abrasive cord pulled through the hole in the bit until you bring back a slight burr. Feed the cord from the back to the front. Then buff or strap the outside of the cutting edge. Finish with loading a peice of sewing machine thread with white, green or red rouge and pull that out of the hole in the bit back to front. Use the largest size thread that you can get threaded through the hole.
