I just guessed it would be the most accurate way I could create it. made me realise that it could also be used to make micro parts if I add a tiny chuck.

I have made the first arbor and mounted the wheel with middling success. I think for future arbors I will leave them slightly oversize and finish them on the grinder.
Of course I had to have a little play and sharpened a few endmills which look good but I havent tried to use them yet but I also had a go at sharpening a countersink which cut really nicely but looking at the picture it seems to be rubbing at the back slightly so I guess the angle was wrong but this will come with practice.
The wheel I brought is 100mm and I think its a little too much for the motor so I will look into getting a smaller wheel or maybe a stronger motor if I can get one with the same form factor.

Great day, Dwayne, cutting your first tools with a tool you built for the job! :clap: :clap: :clap: :thumbup: :beer:

I've not had any experience sharpening milling cutters, but surely the cutting edge should be a thin parallel strip, rather than the broad, triangular feature that you have achieved?
