What do you fellows use for sharpening milling cutters (end mills, slot drills, Woodruff cutters, bullnoses, etc.)? Or do you just buy new ones when what you use gets dull? I can cope with lathe tools, and drills from some 5-6 mm up, finer drills I don´t usually even try sharpening freehand, and they´re not that cost-effective to sharpen anyway. But milling cutters seem rather expensive to just dump when dull, they could be resharpened many times over with right equipment.
The answer of course would be a tool & cutter grinder - except they´re WAY too expensive for occasional amateur use. E.g. Darex E-90: $2,924.95... And it won´t sharpen drills or lathe tools... Even the "UNIVERSAL TOOL & CUTTER GRINDER" from RDG, which is the cheapest new machine I´ve found, comes to £650 + shipping - that buys a LOT of cutters/drills/lathe bits. Then there are the kits to build one, Kennett, Stent, Worden, Quorn, Tinker, Bonelle, etc. They might be a consideration, except the best (Quorn) would come close to £650 with shipping + extras it needs besides the castings, and the least desirable (Tinker) might be a waste of time. Not to mention the "waste of time" needed for building any of them - and the great risk (with my skills and patience) of botching the job beyond any possible recovery. Second hand industrial bench tool grinders also seem to fetch oodles of bids and exorbitant prices in ebay (.co.uk or .de).
So, quite a Jeremiad. Any suggestions welcome.
