End mill sharpening The Home Machinist!
Dec 05, 2007· I don''t know about the rest of you, but I do what Harold says. Most of the time I''m using the end of the cutter (the 1st 20 to 60 thouhs) and when that gets dull, I simply use the bench grinder to hand sharpen the end; grind it back put the reliefs on (without reducing the diameter). For end mills 1/2" in diameter greater, this works well.
