Hello, I was given a box full of end mills. Maybe it is impractical to do so but thinking it maybe cheaper to sharpen. Some are new and some look worn. Wondering if anyone can recommend a sharpening servive? Most are USA .Some double ended. Ski
 
I picked up a 1930s P&W R6 Tool and Cutter Grinder in the last several weeks (what isn't vintage in my shop).
Looks like I might have a contract with the local Tech School where I've been taking machine tool and machine trigonometry classes.
Evidently they've been having difficulty finding someone who would take the HSS end mills that the entry level students would inevitably break, and sharpen them to their standards, and meet deadlines. I've contacted an account/attorney and am setting up an LLC (yes, it looks like this is for real). They intend to come out to my shop and show me how to use the Tool and Cutter grinder at no charge, if I agree to take their contract.
If you can wait a few weeks, maybe a month, I should be able to help out at the same price, whatever that ends up being.

If interested my email: ddoerin@inverhills.mnscu.edu
I've yet to establish a business name or business email.

I have never contacted these people, but a website boast industrial tool and cutter grinding and sharpening.

My $0.02 though it is ugly dog can get something set up I would definitely throw the business his way!

Daryl when you're up and running please let us know some prices!

Have a suggestion as a business name Sparky's grinding! ;)

Daryl, keep this up to date. I have a 3/4 carbide end mill that needs the end .030 sharpened off. OD has never been used, doesn't need service. I had some nasty work to do, it did it, but it suffered.

All, thanks for the votes of confidence!
jpfabricator, Sparky's Grinding is intriguing.
Additionally, this summer I've been been doing an apprenticeship in machine tool rebuilding. Hoping to dabble in both.
However, I don't want to redirect this thread. I'll keep you all posted on progress.

I'll offer to anyone in my area end mill sharpening services. I do both carbide and HSS. Also can grind angles on the ends of end mills. I can do radius on the ends, but haven't tried it. I'm not an expert at it, but so far been doing ok. Haven't establish any pricing, just been horse trading for work I do.

I was gifted a few HSS end mills, though not all chipped up, they are still in fairly good shape, just need sharpening. Please PM me with address and pricing if interested.

Thank you.

I've yet to establish a business name or business email. I too have a 30s r6, I have a follow finger for flutes and a little gear motor with a rubber vacuum belt for turning ods, it will grind a ball nose or corner radius on endmills almost perfect.
