Diamond knife sharpener worked

in a pinch today to get a decent edge back on my 2 V-bits, a Whiteside #1540 & an Amana #45705. That’s my first tip for the forum. I’ll post a picture if it helps anyone…

I’d definitely be interested is seeing what you used.

Router bits and forstner bits can be sharpened with a diamond card. You have to be careful to rub it on the flat and not get the edge rounded. The angled flutes of some bits on the cutting edges are a bit tricker to hold at the exact angle. Just a few strokes is all it takes to do not take off and sharpen it for 20 minutes as it may mess up the geometry of the bit.

This is what I used today. Easy to keep it flat.
