    The best way to sharpen any drill is lots of practice, when i first started my trade as an apprentice tool maker in the 70's i was given a box of blunt drills and told to sharpen them. The old saying pratice makes perfect. With reams tool and cutter grinder is the only thing i know of to sharpen them Oz cheers

    WD 40 is also good for getting grease of hands / paint jobs also puts a shine on plastic components
