Re-Sharpening The KIK Spade Bit


The KIK® Spade Bit can be sharpened with a Flat File simply by following the shape and angle of the cutting edges at the tip of the bit.

With a Grinding Wheel, place the bit with one wing and the spur point engaging the edge of the wheel. Rotate it horizontally to 20º (45º Center) from the centerline of the wheel (Fig 1). Then tilt the bit 12º (30º Center) above that centerline (Fig 2). Repeat for the other side of the bit.

      the right position

Cut 4 triangles as shown in Fig 3 from sturdy stock any thickness. With glue or nails, join them into 2 fixtures for Center and Wing the same way as shown. UP as following,

Place the fixture so the A side is parallel to the horizontal center line of the grinding wheel. See Fig 4, and Fig 1 that is as the specific of the Center and Wing. Height: Rest so the drill will contact the vertical center line of the grinding wheel. See Fig 5.
