Does anyone here regularly sharpen their own end mills?
If so, I was wondering what kind of equipment you use.
I saw something called an "End Mill Cutter Sharpener" in a catalog and
was wondering if something like this was plausible or too cheap to
bother with.
To see a picture and description, just go to www.shars.com,
click, "online catalog", and then go to page 90.
Thanks a lot.

No comment one way or the other on the sharpener, but
my word, that has to be the most annoying online catalog
I've ever seen!

Please log in for more thread options I have a tool and cutter grinder. I resharpen and make custom cutters.
There's quite a learning curve to be good at tool grinding. I must say with
the advent of ebay super cheap endmills, I wouldn't bother unless you just
want to do it. (My son and I wonder who's stealing all those endmills from
the day job just to ebay)
There is a unit for grinding the end of an endmill in a surface grinder,
maybe $50. If you have a surface grinder, start by using this.
Here's a link on endmill regrinding:
