    Hand ice drill

    Halo!
    I have a blunt hand ice drill (see picture) as I would like too sharpen.
    I think I maybe can mill it if I have a fixture to put it into.
    Has any one experience about this?

    According to the global warming enthusiasts, you will not be needing an ice drill soon. lol

    You might sharpen the leading edge with a horizontal machine. Position the ice drill horizontally in line with the horizontal machines spindle. A cupped or segmented wheel could be employed to sharpen the edge, but be carefull to engage the wheel to the edge in such a way not to "snag" it and cause a disaster. Seems impracticle but possible IMHO. Good Luck

    I think I would sharpen it with a ******* hand mill. (Replace the ****** with your preferred ethnic group.) That's also known as a file.

    Alternatively- just replace the blade- I think they cost about 20 dollars
    I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

    I now that you can replace it.
    It would be the easy way.
    I think it a little bit of challenges to sharpen it of your own.

    I would like to have a drawing on it, and then I just could do a cam-program on it.
    I wondering how the companies do then you replace it for sharp.

    I had a quick look out of curiosity-

    Some folk use hand lapping, others use an angle grinder and yet others use a dremmel.

    However- this looked like a handy gadget to have in your backpack:
