Hi Carla,

    One of the important things to remember when sharpening a punch
    system is that the faces of the punch & die be parallel to each
    other. 

    Generally this can't be guaranteed when sharpening by hand with
    sandpaper or polishing paper. 

    If it were me, I'd take the set to a machine or sharpening shop that
    has a surface grinder. They will be able to keep everything parallel.
