Sharpening Chisel and Auger The chisel and auger should be kept sharp for best performance. If cutting operations require excessive force, the chisel and/or auger are probably dull and should be sharpened. Blunt edges will give inaccurate mortises and can lead to overheating and breakage of chisel or auger. If chisel and auger are badly worn and become difficult to sharpen, they should be replaced. Chisel Sharpen the chisel with a mortise chisel cutter with the correct size pilot. (
