It's a medium size store/shop down near the mall. Kinney Surgical Services, INC.
They do all sorts of sharpening. 2-4 guys there.
I had Honey pick them up quite awhile ago and hadn't really look at them much less used them.
I didn't give them a second thought. I figured it's sharpening - right?
Scary thought is that they do 'Medical / Surgical Tools' also...

I stopped in there (Kinney) just after he opened, asked if he could do end mills. "Never did one, but I'm sure I can". Yep. Talked a bit more, sounded as if work was mostly done freehand. Never went back, it was pretty clear he didn't have a clue about machine tools. Knives and scissors, maybe.

Try Precision Industrial Supply (in Knoxville). They build (wood) saw blades, and I've had them sharpen router bits. Haven't asked them do end mills, but they appear to have the equipment. If they can't do it, they'll say so. The carbide table saw blades they've done for me have been so sharp the cuts appear sheared- literally glass smooth.

Drill Doctor has pretty much ended sending out drill bits or doing them freehand, and the results are usually pretty good.
