Using the endmill sharpening fixture
DeereGuy:
"it still came out with a slight taper along the cutting edge."
Yes John mine does the same thing and I compared it to a brand new 1/2" end mill than has the same taper. Anyways looks like you have it all sorted out now. Sorry it took so long for me to respond, it's been crazy busy around here and I have the shop just about ready to show off this weekend.
I have two 3/4" end mills that I know I have more money into than the holder, so the first time I sharpened them I figured I payed for the holder.
Edited to add, very nice write up John.

Thanks for clearing that up Bob. :thumbup:
Maybe the taper is a little large, but the results from my trialing the reground cutters shows that they cut great, and as you say, the unit will pay for itself in no time.
Simple, but very effective. :clap:
Methinks this one is a definite keeper. :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

If people can't understand the written description, then shout up and I will do a C-o-C as I don't have a cutter that needs grinding.

For once that's me then :scratch: , bring on the C-o-C

Your wish is my command, O great one.
I hope this explains it better.
John, any number of flutes above two, as long as one flute has been aligned with the zero mark from the outset, then as shown, the first flute anticlockwise is the one to grind, re-index to the next hole and just continue, grind the flute that falls into the same position. I tried it last night on a 3 flute, too far gone to rescue because of side damage, but it ground it up perfectly on the end faces, in less than five minutes, because I didn't need to regrind the relief.
BTW, I will try to get back to you by email later today.

Ok.... So this looks great, does a great job and all is well...... I still do not understand the C-o-C but that's no bother....
I'll have to have a look next time I'm over there John.....
I'll bring you some "Test pieces" if you like :lol:
