General Care & Sharpening

Care of router bits is extremely important if you expect them to perform as intended for as long as possible. Bits should always be stored so they are prevented from bumping against each other or into anything else. We have constructed a practical closed plywood box for all our bits. Never simply store loose bits in a drawer, can, or jar, and never drop a router bit. Carbide, because of its hardness, will chip or shatter if dropped on a hard surface such as the saw table or a cement floor.

Clean router bits will cut smoothly, while a pitch or resin buildup may cause bits to burn. Spray-on oven cleaner can be used to remove any pitch or resin.

Although much has been written about sharpening router bits, we don't recommend do-it-yourself sharpening. When our router bits become dull (a rare occurrence with carbide), we send them out to a professional sharpening service at about $5.00 per bit. The professionals have the right equipment, and the bits come back as sharp as when new. As for sharpening HSS bits, given the cost it's probably cheaper in the long run to simply buy a new bit. This is no doubt the reason so many woodworkers have a collection of old and worn out HSS bits. Seems it's hard to throw those old bits out, even if they don't work anymore. Wvj
