My new to me boring machine just came in the mail today. I'm not 100% sure on the make but I think its a Snell. They aren't common in my area and mine is the first I've seen more than videos of. I tested it out today on an old chunk of spruce. On three separate holes my only bit(1 1/2") spun out about 1/4" into the wood. Is there a technique like putting weight onto it or something I'm missing. Or is it just that my bit is a bit dull?
Is there a technique different from sharpening a standard auger bit that I need to know about before I try to sharpen it?
Thanks,
Leslie Ball
