Resharpening carbide drills

[HiranoCues]

I've been using carbide tipped coring drills but they are becoming dull and wondering if there is any resharpening service that I can just send the drills in. I could find multiple resharpening services on Google but most of them handle regular drill bits, router bits, etc. and wasn't sure which supplier to choose. I would love to hear if anybody here has any experience, or any tips to keep coring drills from becoming dull.
Thank you.

These guys are awesome: https://www.cascadecarbide.com/
They're local to me though, which is convenient. Is there nothing similar where you live?

In San Antonio there is a guy who has a mobile knife sharpening business and he handles all kinds of things like this.

I would check to see if you have businesses that deal in blade sharpening in your area.

Thank you for the info! I might try there once. Yes, finding a local place would be ideal.

I'm in Dacula, GA. I called some local places but they didn't accept carbide tools.

You might try contacting a machine shop in your area and inquire who they use to sharpen their carbide. We have several different companies in my area that we use.

That's a great idea. Thank you!

Has anybody tried a "Drill Doctor"?

I picked one up on clearance to give it a try but haven't yet. I was going to touch up bitts for work that don't matter as much. It says it'll do carbide.

I'll have to give it a try soon and report back.

Wear a mask and/or make sure you soak it (the carbide, not the mask) when you're grinding.

My local guy used to be the best. Now he only wants to do production stuff where they set up and do a minimum of 10 pcs per.
