Pocket hole jig drill bit sharpening?

11-02-2023, 03:51 PM

So my pocket hole jig has taken to basically destroying work pieces due to a dull bit. I have new bits en route, but I am wondering, because of the step nature of the bits, is it even possible to sharpen these bits and if so, who can do it or is it just cheaper / easier to pitch them in the recycle bin and buy new ones?
