Wanderinstar Report post Posted March 14, 2013 Hi, I have just bought myself a set of cheap hole punches. How would I go about sharpening these? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted March 14, 2013 Chuck them in the drill press, spin them and carefully file the edge with a very fine file. If they were better quality you would use a stone and not a file. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted March 14, 2013 I have sharpened these by hand starting with a file, then a stone,emery and then finish them off with polish on a felt wheel on a dremel. The ones I sharpened are sharp! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted March 14, 2013 If sharpening in a drill press, keep the file moving, else you are likely to damage the file teeth. Wears out the couple teeth you are using when you hold it in one spot. Use a light touch. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
