So, how about those End Mill Grinding Fixtures?
My apologies for the audio in some place.. my mic started clipping. Tried to fix best I could.

    Introduce your shop teacher to the various KZread production houses dealing in shop work then. If they can't adopt some of the techniques in class they can at least pass along these contacts as guides for their students.

    Now if you were to take a 4" length of .350" diameter aluminum or Delrin and poke an 'N' drill in one end about .350" deep you could then press that pencil in and get LOTS more life out of it. Turn and dress the other end to a shallow dome for added flashiness.

    I know this is an old video, but I'm trying to catch up on all the "old" subjects as I work my way through your library. And this one brought up a lot of memories of my days as an apprentice tool and due maker. Early in my training I spent a year just sharpening cutters. I learned to sharpen cutters of every shape and size, and we had all the equipment needed to sharpen them properly! Back then (mid 1980's) the injection mold industry in Grand Rapids, Michigan was just then getting into inserted fly cutters (carbide and ceramic) and things of that type, but all that new stuff was extremely expensive, so almost everything was still cut using fluted HHS and carbide cutters, which needed to be regularly sharpened. Your video bright back A LOT of memories of that for me (...and I'd just gotten over my PTSD, too)!!!

    Diamond (or CBN) wheels will load up much more quickly if used dry, which they're not intended for. Such wheels should ideally be trued as soon as the motor current indicates the wheel is loading up. If this is done, the wheel will last a lot longer than if you wait until glazing can be seen, because you will only need to give it a lick. After truing, you need to dress the wheel. The resinoid material which bonds the diamond particles needs taking back below the outer profile (the cutting corners) of those particles. This is so they can penetrate the work and deliver a free cutting action. Otherwise the stone will (again) load up much more quickly. Use a dressing stick one grade finer than the wheel's grit size. This will permit the stick's abrasive grains to penetrate into the gaps between the particles on the diamond wheel, and remove the binding material.

    Hi Tony, how I used to dress diamond wheels was to "wear" them true by grinding a piece of steel, I was sharpening carbide cutting tools in a factory and I would sharpen so many that it would wear a dip in the surface of the wheel so I would take a square piece of steel and grind it until the wheel would wear flat again.

    When I regrind the front cutting edges I dont bother with secondary clearance and gashing - I just grind them with about 2...5° clearance to the center and to the back - They work very well but of course you cant plunge with them anymore. As I have a surface grinder now I might pick up that fixture too, would save me from use the single lip cutter grinder fot that purpose..

    Useful video! I just snagged an old Hammond tool and cutter grinder for cheep but it needs a collet holder. Your video inspired me to get a Phase II (since I have built in angle adjustment already) and adapt it to fit. The style you have would work too. Next thing I want to try is a Spindex to sharpen flutes (I'm cheap so awaiting a few tool auctions before I give up and use Ebay) If you are gonna do more videos I'd like to see your take on that method.

    +Ob Fuscated Thanks for watching Ob. I've never tried flute sharpening with the Spindex, but interesting idea. I have a 'UniGrind' I've used once or twice.. dig back through the videos you should find a flute sharpening one. In theory I imagine it'd be the same.. you'd just need to fabricate a "finger"/flute tracer to rotate the endmill while you advanced it.

    Hi mate. I found it interesting that, while you did not expect it, the wheel and fixture did quite nice. Rooting for the under dog? I don't know. But a fun fact never the less. Shooting the poop. The name reminds me of a patient I had. This person was so very constipated that when it was finally time to have a poop, this patient had no time to pull down the underpants, and sit down. As a result the whole back wall of the shower/toilet was sprayed from the ceiling to the ground. I had never seen something like it. Now that's what I call shooting the poop.

    As a respiratory therapist I was securing a patients airway during bathing time. I was on the right side of the bed in front of the ventilator and 2 nursed rolled the away from my direction. Suddenly the patient started farting and next thing you know sprayed the entire curtain next to me with 3 massive blast of poo. I just missed the line of fire but it was so explosive it was 5 feet up the curtain and literally moved the curtain. The nurses claim I screamed like a girl as I dove for behind the vent and cart. One of the most memorable code browns I have.

    For those of you trying to read that list of KZread machinist creators at about 0:13 (to see if you are on it??? I'm not.) Google Chrome has a method for stepping through a KZread video frame by frame. You pause the video and use the angle bracket keys "" (actually the comma and period since you don't hold down the Shift key). In this case it will disclose that the list has been repeated several times to make the fast scroll last longer. (This may change the playback speed when you resume normal play, but that can be corrected by clicking on the gear at the lower right of the playback window.) And now ... back to actually watching the video.

    Pretty slick. I don't have a surface grinder, nor do I need one so it's unlikely I'll end up buying one now but that was slick. I always wondered what those old guys that did "tool sharpening" actually used and I didn't really thing of a diamond impregnated grinding wheel. I may never use what I just learned but it was interesting either way. PS, I watched the "shootin the poop" vids out of order.

    I've got the 5C version and it works for the occasional need to do an end mill. One thing with diamond wheels on the surface grinder. Normally it is a good idea to indicate the wheel in. Wrap the OD with Scotch Tape and lightly tap the wheel to true it up with an indicator. Do not use the indicator on the diamond. Just don't how I know this. Also High Helix end mills may have less lateral forces but they have much higher end forces trying to pull them out of the collet

    You probably have ground many more end mills since this video was made and maybe figure it out that, that end Mill having sharp points at the end will break off in steel. Typically there is a "land" or small face only maybe .01 to .02 high to remove the sharp corner. Thanks for the great videos!

    I once had a job running a CNC lathe at night all by myself. The day guy worked his ass off producing 93 stainless steel parts, taking no breaks nor lunch, sucking up to the boss when he came by (I know this, because he showed my how to run the machine). Best I could do was 84 and since I worked all alone I had no one to glad-hand! What to do? I figured by pushing the feed rate on the single large diameter steel drill used to remove most of the inside metal, I could make parts faster. So I doubled it. It worked, but the drill cutting edges wore out . So I rigged up a drill jig on a nearby surface grinder so I could quickly sharpen that lone drill while the CNC machine was running. Eventually, I increased the feed until I was in the realm of diminishing returns and settled on a happy medium. So for as long as that job ran, both day and night shift ran 93 parts apiece. The day guy pissed in a bottle behind the lathe and brown-bagged it, while I had plenty of time for breaks and could go to the dining area for lunch.

    I'm sharpening my drills and endmills using a diamond wheel on the mill (sorry that I do not have a surface grinder) and a rotary table with ER25 collet. Most important to get edges that remove the same amount of material is the angle you turn the mill in the rotary table from flute to flute. For your stevenson fuxture, I would place dents with precision on the outer diameter of the collet bearing and a spring loaded ball in a hole of the fixture that indexes into these dents. So the 180 (2 flute) or 120 (3 flute) degree angle will be reached with precision (you don't need 121 degrees at all). Sadly your stevenson fixture is not for drills, otherwise I would build one.
