Using the endmill sharpening fixture
bogstandard:
The final part, DO THEY WORK?
Not having anything of my own on the go, I decided to use someone else's bits. Wacked off the sticking up silver soldered in bits, about 0.060" (1.5mm), then a final cut of 0.010" (0.25mm) to clean the face up.
That'll do me.

Now it is sorted.
Stew called this evening, and within a few minutes a bright light was shining over our heads, nice one Stew.
This fixture will in fact grind 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 flutes using just a standard straight grinding wheel on the surface grinder.
For you to find out how to do it just send a cheque for 50 squid to .............

Just joking as usual.
For two flute cutters, just set the cutting faces at roughly 90 degrees to the wheel, like I have already shown.
For any other cutter, align one cutting edge to the zero position (parallel to the wheel) and grind the next face around looking from the top and in an anti clockwise direction. This will grind the edges at an angle to the cutting edge, but as long as the grind doesn't take place parallel with the cutting edge, then no problems should occur with fracturing on the cutting face.
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.
