end mill sharpening

(1/5) > >>

Bourne Bill:
what do you guys use for sharpening endmills? I ve been lQQking at the one enco has that takes the 5 c collets, and using it on my milling machine with a cup stone.. are they worth pursuing?

Bernd:
I don't sharpen end mills I just buy a new one. For the amount I use them I figure buying new ones is cheaper.

My opinion only though.

Hi Bill

Thats a very interesting bit of kit I've never seen any thing like that before, it looks like it's intended for use with a surface grinder, I wouldn't like to say how good it would be using it with a mill, I guess getting the wheel running at a good speed would be an issue ?.

Keep us posted if you decide to try it as to how effective it is.

I've been toying with the idea for quite some time of converting an off hand or some people call them bench grinders into a cutter grinder with a cup wheel, using one of those cross tables people use to convert drilling machines into a miller. I've not taken the idea very far except for working things out in my head, at the moment I have no great incentive to do it, but in time that will change.

Good luck
